Mark's Imagination

It is not a new idea. Verticle farming that can be done in the city. But where is it? over the years we've seen tons of designs, and I've been waiting to see the pink light farms that were toted some time back. But nothing. Well, fret not. A design firm called Aprilli Design Studio has created a design that will be built in Soule as a proof of concept and once it goes up, and proves that this is a viable source of food within our cities we'll see them all over the world. Here's a digital mockup of how it'll work.

 


The Urban Skyfarm acts as a living machine which helps improve the environment by filtering water and air, providing green, and producing renewable energy. The dense urban development will benefit from the additional green space by having reduced heat accumulation, storm water run-off and carbon dioxide. The Urban Skyfarm is a net zero facility which operates only with the renewable energy produced by solar and wind energy. The vegetations and plantations will consistently convert carbon dioxide into oxygen which will help the city become low carbon, and filter the air in the cities. The water processing system includes water collection, water filtering, and final processing facilities which filter the gray water or stormwater, process it and either distribute it for irrigation or give it back to the local water source.
