Abstract

AgriProp is a collaborative project merging students from architecture and graphic design to bring environmental statements and a call-to-action into a public forum. Students worked in teams of four to build a mobile installation that combines structure, agricultural (living) material and typographic/iconic messages. The AgriProp serves as a device to call attention to environmental and ecological issues confronting the greater Houston area. The objective is to present urban environmental issues within a public arena using evocative architectural form and informational content.
