THE FARMING SCHOOL
Type: Educational
Location: Manhattan, NY
Status: Academic
Year: 2018
The Farming School actively responds to the climate to create a relationship between farming and pedagogy. The classes are laid as staired terraces where the rooftop of each class is used for planting, creating a non hierarchal urban farm that impacts both the environmental, and social aspects of the neighbourhood. The expanded timeline of the school to function as a community space revives the urban farming citizen activism in the East Village.
Special instruction are kept in the existing part of the building, while classes span between the two wings.
