.:Concept
The vertical alottments are linked together in eahc district, which means that not every allotment needs all layers of production. Overall goal is to introduce into the urban fabric a zero carbon network which produces food and energy; a new elastic network which will form the spine of future society and connects different cultures with there basic needs in an nowadays anonymous urban environ- ment. This green fabric forms a new gathering space for the people who live in this district. The social aspect is farming, which tries to adapt historic idea of a village has now become an urban village. the aspects of social order whith the equlibirium of nature to the idea that human being itself fills the gap, a gap which should taken care of and forms a gathering space. this feedback loop of produc- tion and social care also educates young people. The new gathering spaces transform the brutalist high-rise into a projected situation of urban farming, a symbiotical rela- tionship between nature and social order.
