About Smart Agriculture Landbouwdemonstratiepark

Smart Agriculture is een landbouwdemonstratiepark, ontworpen voor een landelijke locatie in Pizhou, China. Het park is gepositioneerd als een slim platteland en toekomstig veld, waarbij intelligentie wordt toegepast in de gehele landbouwketen. Vier kernvormige gebouwen doen denken aan zaden, de wandelpaden roepen ontkiemende ranken op en de bloemperken suggereren nieuwe bladeren. 5G-technologie, big data en machinetechnologie ondersteunen intelligent planten en verwerken. Digitalisering, prefabricage en 3D-printen sturen het ontwerp en de bouw. De functies omvatten een landbouwmuseum, een centrum voor culturele uitwisseling en een slimme boerderij.

Production Technology
5G technology, big data, and machine technology are adopted to achieve intelligent planting and processing. Digitization, parameterization & prefabrication and 3D printing technology are applied to realize intelligent design and construction. Immersive and interactive experience realizes intelligent display. Digital systematization and visualization facilitate smart management.
Design Challenge
At the beginning of design and construction, there is no clear design brief for guide. The design team is faced with an empty farm site, vague policy requirements, and uncertain investment progress. In response, the team finds the industrial direction of rural renewal for local government based on demand planning, and controls the investment scale with limited and controllable construction volume. Through flexible construction stages, the project gradually improves, and solves the challenge.
Research
Located at the border between north and south China, Pizhou is abundant in natural resources, vegetation, water systems and parks, with the world-renowned Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal meandering through it. To develop future-oriented smart agricultural project in the rural land of south Pizhou, advanced technology will be introduced to agricultural production and provide more employment opportunities. Moreover, it will attract more tourists and add vitality to local economy.
Inspiration
"Seed" becomes the inspiration for the design team to conceive the core architectural complex. The germination of seed becomes the design concept. Seed, containing enormous information on life, grows roots and sprouts in appropriate temperature, lighting and moisture condition. The wisdom of seed lies in every step of growing process. As to Pizhou, planning works as a starting point. A smart park will grow up and evolve in the way the seed does.
