ReplyDeleteIncorporating farming into high rise building with climate similar to Boston, MA.
I would have 2 different types of green space/garden incorporated into hight rise building. For the first type I would like to add small gardens for each of the apartments. The garden I am imagining of would serve like a balcony to residents. Size of the individual garden would be around 15'x15' inclosed balcony, where large windows/roof can be made out glass for green house effect to consume sun heat. This type of design would benefit people who would like to grow their vegetables.
Another type of design I imagine is a larger scale garden, which will serve as a park space where residence of the building can go to relax, walk around and gather their fruits and vegetables at the same time. At that garden farmers will grow goods for the citizens and sell them at the same spot. This garden can have some open areas to outside where birds can fly in and out. I'm think it would look something like a mall, maybe in half is size mall, just in stead of stores, farmers will have different growing goods.
