From the field notes of Fanpu Farm
Our living classroomA farm at the heart of it all
We build here.
We teach here.
We keep learning.
Fanpu began with the everyday possibilities of a rural farm: growing food, working with materials and bringing people together. That practice shapes every building program we develop.
Our dome kits are one part of a wider learning practice, alongside treehouse and bread-oven camps, educator learning and new creative projects.

Take the building experience with you
The connections
that start it all.
Our 4.8 m, 2V dome program brings metal connectors together with building guidance and teaching resources. Source timber locally; start a shared building project where you are.
More than a finished structure
Make room for
questions, too.
Geometry becomes tangible. Decisions become shared. Every build opens a conversation about how things work.
Explore the idea
Observe, sketch and ask what a structure needs to do.
Build it together
Work with materials, divide responsibilities and test ideas as a team.
Reflect & share
Explain decisions, discuss what changed and imagine the next iteration.
Educator workshops · in development
Come to build.
Leave ready to teach.
We are developing international workshops at Fanpu Farm: hands-on building, teaching practice and support to shape a program for your own setting.
Looking ahead
From living systems
to digital worlds.
Aquaponics, game creation and imagined Mars habitats are the next questions in our lab. Follow the projects as they develop.
