STUDIO Z
Situated just outside Grosseto, Italy in the reclaimed lands of Maremma, “Projected Production” attempts to guide the tourist's view through the practices of agricultural production in an area where a future of agrotourism must be cultivated in enclosed environments. Given the studio prompt focuses heavily on “picturesque Italy,” and how one acts in touristic ways on a site, the project allows for a critical view of how these practices are conducted specifically through vertical farming facilities and a seed bank archive and public activities for the area.
As a formal exploration of the buildings on site, the project takes the Ponte Tura - the only existing building - and multiplication, abstracts and “stamps” its form across the landscape, in an excessive manner. These renders highlight the visual and functional relationships between buildings.
