A productive route through the terraces.
An agricultural network in Aarbanieh, Mount Lebanon, connects markets, education and cultivation along a pedestrian promenade. Area A places markets and classrooms within existing terraces, linking the act of growing food with learning and exchange.
Editorial reading / Field Assembly
Growing, learning and meeting share a landscape.
Read the drawing through its connections: planted terraces, the pedestrian promenade, markets and classrooms. The design brings food production into contact with education and exchange instead of treating each as an isolated programme.
This architectural study sets out a design for the landscape. Its management and day-to-day use have not been tested.
