Abstract Details

2018, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Architecture.
The purpose of this thesis studies the possible incorporation of agricultural edible landscapes in new settlement designs in the Cluj region of Romania. Thereby evaluating the feasibility of developing a modern agricultural community in this area. Planning developments actively engage several aspects of urban agriculture and edible landscape practices in the design process. Through an in-depth research on the history of agriculture, this thesis determines that farming remains a theme of rural lifestyle and is a primary driver in new development. Derived from the study of present conditions in Cluj, this thesis analyzes current trends from precedents in agricultural community practices to identify opportunities incorporating modern agriculture development with rural planning. In response to the challenges of a post-communism era, Romanians have taken initiatives in restoring and generating new agricultural landscape development patterns that cater to the changing needs of suburban dwellers. This thesis examines three main methodological approaches in planning execution: the creative development scenario, the Rational Urbanism, and the Agrarian Urbanism. To adapt the natural condition while exploring planning rationales, the master plan reflects two main concepts: draw connections between neighboring communities, and incorporating farming lifestyle needs. Based on the thesis study, the master plan translates the research on the historical background, demographic profiles, and topographic features into zoning organization; and advances to research to the architectural design of a farmer’s market.
