Chris Precht on Connecting Architecture and Agriculture



Chris Precht, Studio Precht, believes that architecture has always been driven by fictional stories that subsequently have had a detrimental effect on the natural environment. His own projects seek to synthesize the two biggest polluting industries—architecture and agriculture—in order to create a type of sustainable building that would bring the sense of nature back to our cities. He imagines a world where cities are designed to give back space to nature and reconnect our lives back to our sources of vitality.

Chris is a co-founder of Studio Precht. Together with his wife Fei, they now work on commissions for green architecture. Their projects utilize natural materials with a low carbon footprint and aimed at reconnecting cities to agriculture. Studio Precht has won numerous national and international awards, including the Emerging Firm of the Year Award from Architizer.
