This urban agriculture laboratory reimagines a compact urban site as both a working landscape and a public amenity. Designed around a series of raised planting beds and a greenhouse, the project provides flexible space for growing, testing, teaching, and demonstrating urban agricultural practices. The productive landscape is woven into a broader garden setting, allowing planting, seasonal change, and cultivation to become part of the everyday experience of the site rather than being treated as a separate or purely utilitarian function.

At the same time, the project operates as a pocket park and informal gathering space within the city. Integrated seating, shaded areas, and landscaped edges create places for students, visitors, and passersby to pause, meet, or spend time outdoors. Large-scale graphic elements and signage give the site a recognizable identity and turn the project into a branding opportunity visible from surrounding streets. By combining agriculture, public space, and institutional identity, the design creates a small but active urban landscape that is educational, social, and highly visible.
