Author : Kashvi Katariya, Harshith MN and Dr. Nischay Gowda
Abstract
The "Culiv-Ate" project innovatively merges hydroponic agriculture with a culinary experience, proposing a futuristic, self-sustaining interior space that offers diners active participation in ingredient selection. This review analyzes the conceptual foundation, design language, spatial organization, and socio-cultural relevance of the project.
By synthesizing traditional Indian values of sustainability with modern hydroponic technologies, Culiv-Ate redefines contemporary café design within an urban context. The research reflects on the importance of ecological awareness, user engagement, and spatial aesthetics as key contributors to experiential design.
