The Vertical Farm Project - Agriculture for the 21st Century and Beyond | www.verticalf... - 3 views

  • Advantages of Vertical Farming Year-round crop production; 1 indoor acre is equivalent to 4-6 outdoor acres or more, depending upon the crop (e.g., strawberries: 1 indoor acre = 30 outdoor acres) No weather-related crop failures due to droughts, floods, pests All VF food is grown organically: no herbicides, pesticides, or fertilizers VF virtually eliminates agricultural runoff by recycling black water VF returns farmland to nature, restoring ecosystem functions and services VF greatly reduces the incidence of many infectious diseases that are acquired at the agricultural interface VF converts black and gray water into potable water by collecting the water of evapotranspiration VF adds energy back to the grid via methane generation from composting non-edible parts of plants and animals VF dramatically reduces fossil fuel use (no tractors, plows, shipping.) VF converts abandoned urban properties into food production centers VF creates sustainable environments for urban centers VF creates new employment opportunities We cannot go to the moon, Mars, or beyond without first learning to farm indoors on earth VF may prove to be useful for integrating into refugee camps VF offers the promise of measurable economic improvement for tropical and subtropical LDCs. If this should prove to be the case, then VF may be a catalyst in helping to reduce or even reverse the population growth of LDCs as they adopt urban agriculture as a strategy for sustainable food production. VF could reduce the incidence of armed conflict over natural resources, such as water and land for agriculture

    it's about next "clothed" building .. with those simulation tools, some new forms will appear, more natural, more accurate to physic than poor flat floors ...

Transit City - 0 views

  • Un jardin pour chaque appartement On citait récemment le projet de Norman Foster qui consistait à construire à Londres une tour de bureau de 180 mètres de haut, dont chacun des quarante étages devrait compter plusieurs jardins. Dans la suite de ses précédents travaux, le groupe MVRDV propose, lui, de construire à Hengelo aux Pays-Bas un immeuble d'habitation dont chacun des 29 logements disposerait d'un jardin privatif sous forme de terrasse plantée. Ces projets qui indiquent clairement que ce qui n'est qu'exception aujourd'hui (un jardin dans les étages) va peut-être devenir la règle demain. Nouvelle utopie ? Pourquoi ne pas imaginer que, d'ici à 2015, chaque appartement sera doté d'un véritable jardin ? Utopique ? Peut-être, mais on rappellera simplement que lorsque dans les années 20, les hygiénistes prônaient la construction de salle de bains dans tous les logements, on les prenait pour des "doux rêveurs". On connaît la suite... Les bains publics ont aujourd'hui quasiment disparu, et le nombre de foyers comptant deux salles de bains ne cessent d'augmenter. Bref, l'éternelle histoire de l'individualisation des biens de consommation... et le jardin en est devenu un, à part entière. Vers des paysages hybrides A plus long terme, on peut même penser qu'apparaîtront des immeubles tentant de se fondre dans un paysage totalement végétalisé avec des jardins, des piscines et même un parcours de golf, dispersés dans les hauteurs. Après 50 ans d'urbanisme dominé par la voiture et les parkings, on se dirige donc doucement vers un nouvel imaginaire plus vert pour nos villes et nos immeubles. Qui s'en plaindra ?

      what's next ? et bien des jardins partout, prendre en compte que la nature peut être totalement intégrée à l'architecture aussi .
