Green cities represent a shift in urban planning where designers embed natural systems into the built environment. This approach addresses environmental challenges while improving quality of life through accessible green space, food production, and pollution mitigation.

The community explores living facades and green shells, working greenhouses integrated into institutional buildings, community gardens as architectural interventions, and pollution-filtering membranes that protect urban residents while creating functional landscapes.

The Future

Seed refers to regeneration as the metaphor and the beginning of a cycle. It was aimed to take the seed out of the area where it was stored and protected and to meet with the citizen and to become a part of the city as a continuation of the cycle as an image. Collision points were considered for urban and seed interaction.

Fore^t De Poche

Creating an oxygen chamber using elements from nature, and creating a micro-climate within, along with raising awareness regarding pollution are the main objectives of this natural walkway. The installation is a self-sufficient module, that produces its own electricity, and focuses on highlighting sensory experience within the design.

We are how we eat

Nowadays, cities are facing food-related problems which come from the separation between food producers and consumers as well as urban areas and countryside. The New Covent Market located in the Nine Elms District in London is a perfect chance to blur the separation and bring a new sustainable lifestyle to the citizens.
