Homegrown : a residential guide to edibility

The following comprehensive project examines the potential for urban residences to become self-sustaining and productive environments using a ¼ acre lot in Muncie, Indiana as an example. It explores how society today has grown further and further from nature, creating a gap that has resulted in the under utilization of the environment. Through this project and research I hope to reconnect humans to nature while creating more sustainable environments to live in, benefiting nature as well as the health, wealth, and happiness of people and their communities.College of Architecture and PlanningThesis (B.L.A.
