Entry Description

“Hunger” remains a critical issue in today's international community. This project at the Ghana Textile Farm in Afram Plains, Ghana, addresses this local issue. It replaces traditional landscape design methodology with innovative crop layouts, providing experimental fields for students. The design integrates local textile patterns, creating a unique landscape that highlights the importance of agriculture and promotes advanced farming techniques to combat hunger. The interplay of crops with diverse heights and blooming periods creates a unique, layered Ghanaian field landscape at harvest time.
