Domestic cultivation

Abstract

In recent years, urban farming has gained a lot of attention. Not only for its potential as a sustainable food resource but also because gardening still is an important form of recreation. Most successful examples of urban farming projects around the world are collective outdoor systems, but in a nordic climate, the growing season outdoors is short. This project examines the possibility of indoor cultivation. The project resulted in a soil free hydroponic product. The product is to be seen both as a small production resource and as a pedagogic tool to increase understanding of food production. Inspiration for user rituals and shapes comes from large scale farming. The product exemplifies a possible development of gardening in an urbanized society.
