Kulapat Yantrasast, an architect based in Los Angeles and New York who is a partner in the project, drew up plans for a sand-floored arena—to host concerts, polo games, fashion events—in the heart of the hemp fields, anchored by a sculptural gate, a towering landmark built in hempcrete. “I was very excited about the idea that we could grow hemp that would be appropriate for construction,” says Yantrasast, who will be experimenting with the material for the first time.
