NATIVE PRAIRIE BISON FARM
STORY CITY, IOWA
PROJECT BRIEF: Design a bison farm in rural Iowa.
This project focused on the artful design of ‘working land’, i.e. farmland. Where
agriculture= farming + food, we were asked to re-imagine farming for ecological excellence to
make farmland healthier, more productive, and as a result more beautiful.
