Public farm installation





continuing with the food topic, this Utopian vision of the future where urban meets organic , where form meets functions to create a sustainable landscape.

"In an inspired move, P.F.1's concept borrows directly from elements found in nature. The farm's main structural components are cardboard tubes arranged in a honeycomb pattern, producing a sweeping vista that at once floats above the ground and glides along the earth. While most of the pipes act as beds for the 51 varieties of plants being cultivated, central conduits are intentionally left empty to allow farmers access to the crops from below"


"Overall, we think it's a great comment on the fact that food travels an average of 1500 miles to get to our plates, the environmental impact of this paradigm and the mounting challenges of feeding a rapidly expanding population. As both a living garden and communal environment, P.F.1 is a blueprint for the public to explore the issues"
