Fruits of our Labour Part 1 Project 2025 Jan Hamza University of Kent | UK This proposal reimagines accommodation for overseas agricultural workers by integrating them into the heart of Canterbury rather than leaving them isolated on farms across the region. It challenges the invisibility of their labour by combining living spaces with a public market and restaurant—places where the produce they help grow can be celebrated by the wider community.Beyond providing shelter, the design promotes dignity, recognition and connection. It includes support facilities that protect workers' rights and offers shared spaces for cultural exchange, communal meals, and economic interaction.Natural crossing points between workers, the public, and employers enable meaningful interaction - echoing Denise Scott Brown’s view that while architecture can't force connection, it can enable it.The project also addresses the UK’s aging agricultural workforce by creating long-term, inclusive infrastructure that values its future contributors. It invites the public to engage with food-growing processes and builds pride in agricultural work often overlooked.Inspired by Sou Fujimoto’s Primitive Future, the architecture acts as a bridge between culture and built form. Rooted in Charles Taylor’s theory of recognition, the project provides not just housing, but a civic framework where migrant workers are seen, valued, and embedded in the life of the city. Tutor(s)
