The Fyfield School of Land is a project that is the outcome of a year of collaboration between Kaye Song and Negar Taatizadeh.
 
The project forms a proposal for a system of redeveloping farmland in England as a sustainable, equitable, and pedagogical landscape.
 
Buildings are proposed that can support this, utilizing a method of construction that harvests and processes material directly quarried or grown on-site. They promote a low-energy and sustainable architecture that exists in harmony with its environment, connected to and part of a changing landscape that it helps to shape. Here, digging is advocated as a right only if undertaken mindfully with consideration of surrounding impacts.
 
One building stores hand holds in place material produced by another building. A lightweight lace roof shelters the spaces, growing as the spaces beneath them grow too.
