: Urban farm

By: g | No Comments » |

Public Farm One, an installation designed by architects [Work Architecture Company], has been unveiled in New York.

With food becoming an issue and much land around the world being lost to urban sprawl, there is an ever increasing need to find new ways to farm and limit the dependence on transport to markets; as well as solving the debatable quality of supposed fresh produce urban dwellers find themselves dealing with in supermarket chains. The PF1is a radical and very smart solution, indicating a fresh look and innovative thoughts on how to manipulate existing urban spaces and double use them for agriculture.

The diatribe on the Work AC site is too, well, academic to reproduce here, but you can rad more about the project…
