Regenerating farmland through food forest typologies and translating this to an architectural expression

Master thesis (2026) - J. Hulleman, I. Bobbink, R.R. van den Ban, Cinco Yu
This thesis explores the parallels between cooking and architecture as extractive yet essential practices, investigating how both disciplines shape material transformation and human relationships with the earth. Using regenerative agriculture as a conceptual and practical framework, the research critically examines extractivist modes of production and their implications for architectural design. The study asks how architecture can engage with complex ecosystems without imposing rigid control, instead allowing space for agency, adaptation, and natural processes. Through material discourse and design exploration, the research investigates how technicities influence material transformation and how morphogenetic processes found in nature can inform architectural practice. The thesis argues for a regenerative architectural approach that embraces uncertainty, negotiation, and porous design strategies in response to ecological complexity. ...
