this project imagines a quilt-like type of property organization, where the buildings act as the stitching between pieces of fabric. the context in this case is massive mono-cropped farmlands on the edges of rural and more urbanized areas, where the property is intentionally distributed and subdivided amongst a larger number of residents and involved parties. instead of a large piece of land being used for crop production for large businesses, the piece of land is farmed by the residents, who could still sell their productions to cities and buyers.
