Carrot City – Designing for Urban Agriculture
What is the place of food in the city?
How are "waste" spaces being transformed by food projects?
What are the implications on materials, technologies and structures?
Carrot City is a traveling exhibit that shows how the design of buildings and cities can enable the production of food in the city. It explores the relationships between design and urban food systems as well as the impact that agricultural issues have on the design of urban spaces and buildings. The exhibit explores these issues at four different scales, the city scale, the community scale,home and work and the products that make all of this possible.
