Grow-Lab @ ecobuild

We have been invited by the organizers of ecobuild to present a design laboratory for urban farming during the biggest international event dedicated to sustainable design and the built environment.

We will present the Grow-Lab concept as well as a collection of indoor and outdoor vertical growing solutions from the MetaboliCity initiative.

Grow-Labs
The focus of the Grow-Lab is developing near-future visions, rooting them in a place and providing practical solutions for sustainable urban living. Grow-Labs enable communities and individuals to observe, learn and engage with their local ecologies and take on many forms, from underground mushroom farms to high-rise hyperbolic greenhouses and vertical farms.

Our aim is to work together with as many people in the coming years to localise research and experimentation into communities to build and share tools for replicable, open source, resilient environments.
