Project by Cong Zhang, Haixin Qin
The project proposes a modular bamboo–coffee agro-architecture in Quindío, Colombia, where farming, habitat, material production, and human rest become one integrated ecological system. Using guadua bamboo structures, cob walls mixed with coffee grounds, and shaded plantation zones, the design supports both coffee cultivation and multispecies occupation. Birds, insects, small mammals, and plants are invited through nesting cavities, branch systems, shaded corridors, and porous wall surfaces. Rather than separating architecture from agriculture, the project treats the building as a living threshold: a productive shelter for workers, a habitat framework for nonhumans, and a slow rewilding device within a damaged landscape.
