Summary

Our proposal seeks to challenge the static and mono-functional boundaries within our societies and spaces, examining the edge as a place not only of division but of transformation and connection. We reimagine boundary spaces as a point of departure, turning to the typical single-family residential lot and its most ubiquitous and unfulfilled landscape typology —the fence. 

F³ provides a medium through which a single-family household can directly participate within, better understand, and support larger cycles of human, plant and animal processes. The fence system incorporates edible and pollinator plantings, wild-bee habitats, and vermiculture composting to address challenges surrounding climate change, food production and waste management.
