This study has been prepared by Hosoya Schaefer Architects to illustrate the concept of vertical farming. The project is featured in the Mobiglobe 3.0 films which the office produced for Autostadt / Volkswagen.
The project is envisioned to have a farmers market at the street level, 30 stories of productive area and penthouses on top. The facade is planned with ETFE, the structure based on a lightweight steel frame construction.
In the film, Dickson Despommier, the originator of the vertical farm idea, explains the concept supported by graphics produced by Hosoya Schaefer.
