Agritecture

Near Bangalore Palace, Bengaluru · 2024
◆ Design, research & documentation

An urban-agriculture experience centre that weaves farming into architecture — reconnecting a fast-growing city with how its food is grown.

Agritecture is my B.Arch thesis: a civic landmark near Bangalore Palace that fuses cultivation and community. Responding to a tropical-savanna climate, the master plan flows as a radial composition of terraced farm fields, an Anubhav Kendra (experience centre), a market and workshop wing, therapeutic gardens, a bio-lake, a butterfly garden and rainwater harvesting.

Vertical farming, aquaponics, LED farming and living green walls are integrated into the building fabric, while a full site, sciography and climate analysis drives orientation, shading and water strategy. The result is architecture that breathes — food, people and nature sharing one continuous landscape.
