Project location: Montréal, Canada
The objective of the studio was to design a neighborhood aiming at the transformation of the living space, the practice of agri-aqua urban culture and the requalification of public space. The project works on the relationship between public and private spaces, from the planning of spaces between buildings, identifying their potential for appropriation. An essential food crop equipment for the project is the "Urban Farm Unit", a hydroponic system that combines a container with a greenhouse, and is located at key points in the neighborhood. A 1: 500 scale wooden model was made for a volumetric analysis of the set.
