Parckfarm Project
Brussels, May-June 2022
Parckfarm is a non-profit organization that promotes ecological activities and celebrates the social diversity in the area of Brussels’ Tour and Taxis. The Farmhouse is their home.
The Building Beyond Borders postgraduate participants defined – together with the Parckfarm community – a series of small-scale interventions to upgrade their facilities. Willow-shelters in the garden, a foldable canopy to protect the Farmhouse against the summer sun, new shelves, benches and a kitchen-box for the greenhouse were designed and built, with locally harvested materials and the helping hands of the many festival enthusiasts, under supervision of the postgraduate team.
