GLOBE / HEDRON, ANTONIO SCARPONI - CONCEPTUAL DEVICES
Globe/Hedron is a bamboo greenhouse designed to organically grow fish and vegetables on top of generic flat roofs. The design is optimized for aquaponic farming techniques: the fish’s water nourishes the plants and plants clean the water for fish. Using this farming technique it is possible to feed four families of four all year round. Using a geodesic dome, the load of the fish tank rests on the frame of the green house and is redistributed to a larger surface. In this way, the aquaponic farm can be displayed without any structural building adaptation.
Antonio Scarponi will be speaking at CreativeMornings/Zurich this coming Friday in honor of our themed arts+tech month. Daniel Frei in the Zurich Organizer. Check it out at Kantine Hermetschloo, 8:30am.
