URBAN FARMING |
|
|
The goal of this project was to promote urban gardens and green spots in big cities. We want to bring the community in contact with Outdoor Sustainability. To improve the biodiversity, this element includes different green panels, gardening areas and a "bee hotel" playing an essential role on the pollinating of the plants. Rainwater is collected for the irrigation of the green panels. Solar cells provide the necessary electricity for the irrigation pumping system.
This project was finalist in the " Materia Green Wall Competition". Amsterdam. www.materia.nl |

FAMILY TREE |
|
|
After and exploration phase, it was concluded that memorial elements and traditions for our loved ones should be more connected with nature, so the goal of this project was to design a new graveyard experience.
The concept presented is called FAMILY TREE, and it is a CorTen steel tree as a memorial for your family members. Each branch of the tree is an urn for the ashes of each member of the family. Branches can be added as needed allowing the tree to grow and keeping the family together. |
