00. overview

This Integrated Design Studio project focused on designing the Ozarks Food Learning Center, a civic building in Luther George Park that addresses food insecurity in Northwest Arkansas. The assignment challenged us to develop a fully resolved 14,200-square-foot facility that combines education, community gathering, and urban agriculture while integrating ecological systems and public space. Emphasis was placed on a comprehensive building design, including occupancy, structure, lighting, and environmental systems, to create a cohesive and high-performing architectural proposal.

This project was done in collaboration with Chris Sanchez.
