A new public architecture that seeks to directly engage consumer identity in the rural landscape. By partnering with entrepreneurial producers seeking to develop rural markets of production, the architecture can facilitate a passive learning environment which transcribes the farms product into consumer experience. The farm is inherently social and becomes the catalyst for resilient community growth.enAgricultureSustainabilityIndustrial HempSocial TechnologyCatalyst: A New Public Architecture for Community Resiliency
