If you have tried – or even thinking to try – to lead a more sustainable existence, here’s something you might consider: hydroponic garden. Kettal and Tectum Garden, led by a team of ecologists, agronomists, architects, designers, engineers and scientists, designed a hydroponic vegetable garden. Based on edible renaturalization, the primary objective is to integrate more eco-design into spaces and offices yet to be built. Through this channel, climate change can be further combated and the quality of life in cities improved. The hydroponic garden can also create a connection with the natural world by integrating agro-productive areas into working environments, which will in turn promote a more sustainable future through the circular green economy. The bonus is that you enjoy the proverbial fruits of your labor as well as the added greenery as it grows.
The hydroponic garden, like any other, is designed to grow without soil. In its place is a light substrate which is watered by drip. This not only reduces water consumption, but also contains water-soluble fertilizers. The nutrient-filled H2O is then reused over and over again. The lighting used can be either artificial LED or natural lighting, depending on the crop grown. Finally, Hydroponic Garden’s boxy structures are made with 75% recycled materials that are 100% recyclable at the end of their life.
