dc.description.abstractFood is the common thread that binds us all. People once had a direct connection and understanding of the intricate process of farming. Today, urbanization, technology, and the complex web of transportation logistics have obscured our understanding of this process. Many consumers only encounter food in commercialized institutions as finished products, often unaware of its origin or the technologies and dedicated individuals responsible for bringing it to our tables. The thesis explores a crucial but undervalued program typology that plays a role in our everyday lives behind the scenes: agriculture research labs. This exploration focuses on the role of agriculture research scientists and their invaluable contributions to society. The importance of these labs and the scientists' work is that they find new and innovative solutions to agricultural problems. The thesis questions how architecture can bridge the gap between people, scientists, food knowledge, and emerging technologies. The design proposal focuses on improving the quality of the spaces for the researchers while providing a dynamic learning environment for the general public.
