Balchen operates as a novel spatial investigation that intersects the functions of a planter, a kitchen, and a living room. It encompasses a series of movable urban furniture that facilitates the preparation and production of food. It traverses between the interior and exterior, defining a malleable site for divergent agricultural and social events. Exhibited at the 9th Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism and Architecture in Shenzhen, China, it is tasked with investigating the emerging trend of domestic farming in urban territories, speculating on the social and spatial aspects of food as a collective medium and a social act in the articulation of community and society.
