Stacey Murphy
BK Farmyards

An architect and urban farmer, Stacey Murphy founded the decentralized farming network BK Farmyards in the Summer of 2009 in Brooklyn, NY. The network provides local food to reduce the city’s reliance on fossil fuels and offers local jobs to boost the economy. BK Farmyards seeks partnerships with developers willing to temporarily transform their idle land to farmyard; homeowners who want to eat from their own yard; and city agencies holding under-utilized land. This work is part of the growing movement in Brooklyn and across the US to transform the urban foodscape.

About Little thesis
Little thesis is a collaborative of MArch students, investigating the architectural thesis as both a transition and an interlude between academia and the profession. During thesis, for the first time the student frames her own architectural inquiry and attempts to tie her lofty visions to grounded realities. At this moment when her most fervent beliefs about architecture are exposed, what are the critical questions that the thesis student asks of herself and of those around her? How does she communicate her ideas to her peers, others in related disciplines, and ultimately to the outside world? Little thesis aims to serve as a forum for inviting open conversations about these and other questions about the past, present and future of the architectural thesis.
