The Urban Farm Part 1 Project 2020 Adam Primmer Arts University Bournemouth | UK The biomorphic grid’s use in The Urban Farm harmonies the architecture’s programme and natural environment. Its context manipulated form also establishes a closer connection between people and place. The biomorphic grid offers a series of unique modules, all varying slightly. This promotes individuality among residents and allows the architecture to fulfil the varying needs of society.The scheme encompasses a live/work way of life, where business and education make use of farming spaces mixed within the residential complex.The utilisation and layering of waste car parts to create cladding acts as an architectural and environmental palimpsest to the site’s past as a car park. Over time the car parts rust creating iron oxide, this is harvested and then used to create fertiliser to enhance the growth of crops on the farm. Therefore, the car effectively becomes the soil for this new biological farm. The mechanical and man-made is then re-manufactured into something living creating a space for social and environmental healing.The biomorphic grid is seen in both the design and structure. The regular grid system is interrupted and manipulated by the curvilinear form of the grid-shell which in turn provides a three-dimensional manipulation of the grid.
