Concept

USF Architecture Outreach students have designed a number of projects in Cambodia over the past seven years. This semester we will be designing an agricultural processing center for drying mango for the export market. The goal of the project is to provide opportunity for farmers and the local population to monetize the millions of mangos that fall to the ground and rot every year. The projects focus was on non-oppressive factory design so as to uplift workers and the surrounding community. Therefore there was a huge emphasis on placing the factory inside a Biophilic Environment

Additionally, a tasting room can be found across the interior nature walk on the east end of the building with a 2nd floor viewbox looking into the factory process below. Adjacent to the tasting room is the gift shop, which is the first and last thing visitors see on their visit.
