FOOD SELF-SUFFICIENCY THROUGH CLAY 3D PRINTED HYDROPONICS
Clay 3D Printed Hydroponics | Logman Arja |
Architect Logman Arja introduces Clay 3D Printed Hydroponics, a sustainable, deployable urban farming system that rethinks food production. Designed to address climate change, soil degradation, and water scarcity, the system saves up space with a vertical setup while creating a multisensory, immersive experience. By combining ceramics and 3D printing, it supports food self-sufficiency and transforms urban farming into a therapeutic and educational practice.

LOGMAN ARJA CREATES A MULTISENSORY FARMING EXPERIENCE
Professor Logman Arja’s system aims to connect people with nature through all five senses. Visitors can admire the organic ceramic forms, feel the texture of the structures while planting or harvesting, breathe in the scent of herbs and flowers, listen to the calming sound of water trickling through, and, of course, taste the fresh produce.
Beyond just producing food, Clay 3D Printed Hydroponics serves as a learning space and a platform for discussing the future of agriculture. It shows how innovative farming techniques can shape cities, create more resilient communities, and make fresh food more accessible.
