MAXIMIZING SPACE in urban areas is priority number one. But as a green perspective has increasingly come to dominate urban planning and architecture proposals, and the fact that the world’s population is becoming more urban, both needs must find a way to be incorporated into building design: The need for maximized space and buildings built with a green perspective. In 2050 most of the world’s population will reside in cities which makes the need for the production of vegetables and fruits on rural and semi-rural farms less desirable, as urban sprawl takes over and limits space for such enterprises and the demand for fresher goods would require—at least, in part—the ability to produce such goods in a location within or very-near the city. The answer to the problem could very well be the urban farm; housing farms in skyscraper structures that are able to produce food for hundreds of thousands people per tower may just be a global saving grace. The inspired concept mock-ups of these five architects/firms may revolutionize agriculture.
