COW TOWN

by Abhinav Seethamraju

The Cow Town is a community driven floating village that brings the farm life closer to the city offering a glimpse into the life of a cow and the manufacturing of dairy products. The Cow Town is a platform for innovative strategies and experimentation into the future of animal architecture. The developed design aims at achieving a large floating mass of barges that accommodate the industry, farm and housing and convert the scheme into an intertwined series of spaces that form connections and relationships between the two primary users, humans and cows. The floating farm acts as a prototype that can be replicated anywhere in the world keeping in mind the concerns with rising sea levels and flooding across the world due to ‘Climate Change’ and ‘Global Warming’..
