International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research

The growing global demand for food necessitates the development of innovative, efficient, and sustainable agricultural systems. As one of the main sectors supporting the economy and food security, agriculture requires research centers that can respond to these challenges through science- and technology-based approaches. The Agricultural Research Center is designed as an integrated hub for research, education, and innovation in modern agriculture. The building incorporates principles of green architecture, sustainability, and energy efficiency to create an environment conducive to research while being ecologically friendly. By taking into account the geographic, social, and economic context, this center is expected to serve as a catalyst in promoting climatae-resilient agriculture and meeting global market demands. The design emphasizes a holistic approach that accommodates laboratory research functions, training facilities, exhibition areas, and experimental gardens. The design process involved an in-depth analysis of user needs, integration with the natural landscape, and implementation of smart technologies to enhance operational efficiency. Thus, this center is not only a functional space but also a symbol of innovation and sustainability in the agricultural sector. The design outcome is expected to catalyze the development of an inclusive, modern, and competitive agricultural system, contributing to environmental conservation, improving community welfare, and achieving sustainable food security.
