Project Summary
The concept behind Agriculture facility for innercity voids turns abandoned urban areas over to agricultural use. Production can even be taken into the interior of buildings using different techniques (e.g. hydroponics). The citybased program offers research opportunities into new plantation methods, leisure areas and street markets – a novel approach to lifecycle thinking.
