Dezeen School Shows: we've selected nine student design and architecture projects that have been featured on Dezeen School Shows. All of them are focused on agriculture and ecology.
These undergraduate and postgraduate projects include sustainable architecture proposals, bodies of research and material explorations, which explore farming and ecological systems.
Included in this roundup is a combined seafood restaurant and farming hub, an adaptive reuse of a shopping centre and an environmentally-designed infrastructure model for a housing block.
The selection of projects comes from students enrolled on interior design, architecture and interaction design courses from international and UK-based institutions including The Bartlett, Savannah College of Art & Design and Zurich University of the Arts.
Relinquetur Research Centre by Gabriel Velasco
Gabriel Velasco, an MA Architecture student, created the Relinquetur Research Centre to investigate micro-ecosystems within marsh environments.
Velasco intended to explore how land, vegetation and animal life coexist in one habitat, with the centre's design intended to welcome these aspects and allow them to grow.
"The project's location acts as a pulsating tissue, taking long deep breaths as the tides shift with time," said Velasco.
"The movement of water provides opportunities for vegetation and animals to expand their habitat, tidal creeks and mudflats become the stage for multiple interactions."
