The prices at the grocery store keep on climbing for a reason; therefore, the London Farm Tower concept could be a great proposal for the very near future. Created to provide a solution to potential food crises, this sustainable, crystallized structure provides a unique agricultural space so as to create a self-sustaining city.
As the population continues to escalate throughout the world and people continue to consume vast amounts of foods of all kinds, soon the demand will surpass the supply. With the help of the London Farm Tower, this city may be able to avoid a very sticky situation. Designed by Brandon Martella, the London Farm Tower would be situated on the southern bank of the river Thames, facing Potter’s Field.
Unaffected by seasonal changes, the London Farm Tower would be able to supply all types of produce year round.
