Metabolicity
"MetaboliCity is a vision of a city that metabolizes its resources and waste to supply its inhabitants with all the nourishment they need and more."
Last year we founded MetaboliCity and are working with new sites this growing season to integrate food production into challenging urban environments.
A network of small-scale, distributed Grow-Labs are developing solutions to integrate both traditional and hi-tech farming techniques into the fabric of the built environment - growing in awkward, challenging spaces.
Experiments so far include hydroponic, solar powered window farms, vertical green cladding retrofit to facades and organically grown vegetables climbing up street lamps in housing estates.
We invite you to join our growing network at:
