THE URBAN HARVEST COLLECTIVE DESIGNED BY WILLIAM ADDISON MOSES

DESIGN PROPOSAL

Moses’ project proposes a new model of urban agriculture centered in Atlanta's Sweet Auburn neighborhood. Beginning with a central hub at Auburn and Piedmont Avenues, accompanied by several farm structures, this project is designed to unfold organically in phases, expanding with additional farms, hubs, and connective pathways as needed. Its primary aim is to tackle food insecurity by providing free fresh produce to local residents, funded through city subsidies and public donations. This community-driven initiative relies on the active participation of local members for its growth and sustainability. The architecture of the farms and hubs is modular, featuring a wooden grid structure that can accommodate various units. The hubs, serving as organizational and educational centers, demonstrate agricultural practices used in the adjoining farms, including hydroponics, aquaponics, traditional methods, and more.
