Vertical Food Farm

PROJECT INFO

& CREDITS

A 3D printed vertical farm made out of natural materials and co-designed with school communities and children. Enhancing biodiversity, self-sufficiency and educating the public in cities, the farm managed by the community produces food and becomes a host for insects and birds.

Thanks to the co-design process and to advanced manufacturing techniques, Vertical Food Farm will belong to the kids who co-designed it, providing them with an innovative and unique space where they can learn and explore more about flora and fauna.
