The trellis is an armature for directing the growth of plant life. “Growing Roots” adapts the trellis as a support system for a range of communal and ceremonial events in which people, food, and plants come together. The trellis forms enclosed pockets of determined activity, amid an open field. Movable furniture allows visitors to reformat the open field as they wish. The community users complete the space by utilizing the gardens and eating together. The wedding users fund the free community spaces, while also ceremoniously bring together two families within the space. This project allows communities to gather and connect back to their roots and identity through food and ceremony.
