Adaptive Production

This is a blog for my Major Project Thesis.

A place for my ideas, developments, side tracks, research and feedback.

The theme I wish to explore is our relationship with land, particularly our traditional land ownership models and the culture that comes with it. Perhaps in reaction to these traditional relationships, a more nomadic and adaptable architecture could emerge with particular importance to production and consumption. Food production is of course necessary to sustain life, a system particulary complex in urban environments, and until now it has been dependant on secuirty of arable land and extentive transport and logistics systems. Both of these elements are becoming increasingly unsustainable with climate change and our burgoening population. So I am exploring the possibilites of adaptable, nomadic and parsititic farms, ranging from small private urban insertions to larger suburban co-operatives as an alternative to 'permanent' land development. The project may even explore the possibility of creating more nomadic cities, where civilisation can begin to move, as it once did, with climate and land mass changes.
