Competition Proposal (2nd Place)National Agri Food Biotechnology Institute
A competition proposal for a biotechnology campus shaped around ecological planning, institutional clarity, and long-term scientific growth.
A competition proposal for a large-scale agri-food biotechnology research campus.
Overview
Developed as a design competition entry, the NABI project outlines a 35-acre institutional campus with substantial built-up area for biotechnology research. The proposal integrates ecological planning and sustainability strategies through specialist consultants.
Design Intent
The proposal imagines a research institute as a legible academic landscape where scientific work, shared space, and environmental planning support one another from the outset.
Site / Context
The larger site is treated as an active planning framework, allowing ecological systems, built form, circulation, and phased institutional growth to be considered together.
Program / Brief
Research laboratories, shared institutional facilities, and campus-scale support spaces are arranged to balance technical performance with a coherent public identity.
Material / Spatial Strategy
Spatial order, environmental response, and consultant-led sustainability strategies are used as primary design tools rather than secondary technical overlays.
Outcome
As a competition proposal, the project frames how a science campus might combine long-range institutional clarity with ecological intelligence and adaptable research infrastructure.
A research campus can feel rigorous without losing landscape, shade, and public life.
