The Bittertang Farm

Bainbridge Island and Chicago, United States
The Bittertang Farm looks forward to a future world full of inventive and playful opportunities founded by Antonio Torres and Michael Loverich. Their recent work includes constructing a permanent ecological outdoor classroom for CAB 5, designing two new restaurants in Mexico, and researching dynamic forms and environments that float in the open ocean. The Bittertang Farm has received numerous architectural awards—including the Architectural League Prize and the New Practices Award from AIANY—and was also a finalist in the MoMA PS1 Young Architects Competition. Antonio Torres explores expressions and sensations through various media and architecture. He has taught at Columbia University–GSAPP, as well as internationally. He is currently an assistant professor and the Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies at the UIC School of Architecture. Michael Loverich lives on an island, where he experiments with edible and living materials. He has taught graduate design studios at Columbia University–GSAPP, the University of Pennsylvania, UCLA, Lawrence Tech, and Cornell.
