MetaboliCity Grow-Labs

MetaboliCity is a network of Grow-Labs experimenting with creative solutions to bring vegetation and food production back into the city.

We run workshops with a variety of urban growers and work with schools to develop Learning Landscapes.

Our urban 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 the network and share our tools and services that are based on ecological principles, from community workshops to urban food grow-kits and an online collaborative network.

Building The Bionic City

Posted by Melissa Sterry on July 8, 2011 at 12:03pm 0 Comments

Albert Einstein once said, “The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.” Leonardo da Vinci exemplifies the pertinence of Einstein’s comment, for as an illegitimate child da Vinci was exempt from receiving a formal education and thus self-taught; learning much of what he knew from his personal observations of the natural world.
