Urban agriculture can promote nutritional security, food resilience, reduced distribution embodied impacts, and equitable access to healthy foods for burgeoning urban populations. Yet, the lack of open space, contaminated brownfields and surging land prices all constrain the establishment of urban farms and gardens. New urban agricultural production sites can be made available through new building-integrated growing of agriculture (the new “BIG [ag]”) such as rooftop farming, green facades, and controlled environment agriculture, creating simultaneous co-benefits where building outputs are recycled as inputs to the agricultural system, and agricultural outputs ultimately provide healthy, resilient, and sustainable inputs to building systems and users. To develop BIG [ag] concepts suitable for North America sites, this course will draw on and learn from an area of the world that has made a deep commitment to the development of urban agriculture: Singapore. Students will have the opportunity to meet with urban farm operators,  learn from their experience, and explore built case studies to develop new BIG [ag] concepts for a future model of urban food production in the United States testing ideas on an urban site in the U.S.
