FARMADELPHIA proposes to transform the urban environment by introducing
bucolic farmlands into the city’s urban fabric. The insertion of
incongruous rural elements assigns a new use for the abandoned parcels,
creating juxtapositions between farm and city that challenges its

of open sky and land with the richness of city living.
