As traditional farming faces increasing challenges due to population growth and soil depletion, vertical farms emerge as a solution—high-tech structures capable of maximizing crop yield in urban settings.

This competition seeks visionary designs for the machine-buildings of the future—structures that will shape cityscapes just as farmland, mills, and granaries did for centuries.
