Modular Stackable Urban Farms
The 'Glasir' Project by Framlab Enables Food Farming in Urban Areas
February 3, 2020 - By Michael Hemsworth
Cities rely on farms to feed citizens but require a vast amount of land and water, which is something the 'Glasir' project takes into account to help change. Developed by Framlab, the farming system is achieved using a series of modules that allow for food cultivation in small urban areas and are designed to look like cubic trees in the city landscape.
The different modules include the Growth Modules, Production Modules and the Access Modules, which work together to support the growth of food, the structure and the cultivators who tend to the modern farm. The 'Glasir' project is supported by artificial intelligence (AI) that utilizes sensors in order to continuously monitor the environment and adapt accordingly.
