New Reference in Proportion and Organization Both Palladio and Le Corbusier use human body as a reference for proportion and organization. It causes space to be arranged in ways that is specific to human’s activity. An addition of user that has different body proportion would call for an adaptation of spatial arrangement.

Nowadays, the living spaces of human and animals are getting closer. One of the issues is how to provide space for farm animal to live in an urban area, in order to increase food production capacity. The addition of farm animals into our living space arises new question: how farm animals can be used as proportion and organization reference in creating a co-living space within the context of food production in urban area?

The design process starts by selecting the type of farm animals that would be used as reference. Each of their body proportions are measured and the results become the base of creating spatial arrangements. Building plans are organized using Palladio’s principle of symmetry and centrality. The iteration is based on how many type of farm animals that each plan can contain.
