Founded by Ben Tait, FARM brings more than 25 years of specialty manufacturing and construction experience to bespoke architectural fabrication. From its Brisbane base and New York presence, the company connects computational design, robotics and hands-on fabrication to turn demanding architectural concepts into built elements, including the algorithmically designed polymer walls at RMIT and façades for major international projects. FARM’s distinctive focus is closing the gap between design and manufacturing through digital workflows that account for real-world production constraints.
