We propose an architecture for performing holonomic quantum computation via local adiabatic control of at most two-body nearest-neighbor interactions. Logical qubits are constructed from the degenerate gapped ground states of Haldane phase spin-1 chains, and logical gates are executed by manipulating the boundary spins. The computational scheme inherits significant robustness to disorder and noise from the symmetry-protected topological order of the Haldane phase. Similarity to the circuit model provides a means of ensuring fault-tolerance, and the architecture could feasibly be implemented with current state of the art technology. We illustrate this by describing an implementation based on ultracold polar molecules trapped in optical lattices.
