Tailor made for precarious tech workers actively engaged in maintaining and promoting a sustainable lifestyle, Jordbruket builds on the power in numbers, by adding these up to a sum larger than its parts.
By designing an architecture around the habits of resource management, Jordbruket aims to provide it’s residents with a platform that fits their lifestyle while allowing for social interaction to take place in the process. The scheme is organised around scales of sharing, where different resources allows for interactions through different constituents.
The individual units generate a dense fabric, broken up by spacious common areas where interior and exterior overlap, allowing the full extent of the site to act as a platform for the inhabitants labour, needs and course of life.
Designed for multiple uses, the adaptable spaces enables leisure and labour to coexist, eliminating the physical border between the two and promoting social interaction through agriculture and resource management.
