Meridian of Fertility

Ann Arbor, MI
Reid Fellenbaum, Student Affiliate ASLA | Graduate | Faculty Advisor: Rania Ghosn
University of Michigan

With current models predicting aquifer depletion as early as 2050, the Great Plains region approaches a critical threshold that will test the resilience of its productive landscape. In response, this project challenges the Jeffersonian grid by speculating that the future landscape will be annually reorganized by hyper-local climate prediction that responds to microtopography and soil typologies. A series of dynamic landscape infrastructures collect and interpret data to define a Meridian of Fertility where short grass prairie ends and insurable productivity begins.

The future of sustainable residential design requires a paradigm shift from ‘greenwashing’ to fusing function, aesthetics, and sound regenerative ecological principles that nurture the environment and the human spirit. Harvest Home, a 2013 Solar Decathlon entry, showcased an affordable zero-energy house that harvests sun, water and wind to promote experiential healing for a military veteran battling physical and emotional trauma. Each landscape element interacts with the architecture to foster reconnection to family, community, and Earth.
