This competition provides an arena for students from ARCASIA‘s member Institutes to participate in ARCASIA’s activities. It is an opportunity for students from different cultures to exchange and share ideas on a particular design issue that is raised by ARCASIA every year. This year’s theme was “Designing a Future-Ready Community Responding to the Most Challenging Social Condition”.

The project “Urban Farmland” was supervised by Prof. Nuno Soares, Head of the Department of Architecture and Design of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities (FAH) of the USJ, and utilises advanced technology to grow crops in a controlled environment, aiming to produce more food with less space and resources than traditional farming methods.
