Aquaponics unit – Cambodia

In the summer of 2018 a team of 4 of engineers and myself, an architectural student,  built an aquaponic’s family unit that we fundraised for and installed on land in Sen Sok, a rural Cambodian village.

My role was to:

  • Document the experience to explain to other people why, what and how we are doing what we are doing through film.
  • Digitally model the farm to help future donors envision the projected plans for the growth/development of the farm.
  • Make important diagrams/images and renders , of the projected plans for the farm, part of the brand identity.
