natural environment.


Built form and green space will work together to enhance healthy living and work environments increasing access to parks and nature.  A solution could be seen in the creation of both temporary and fixed green spaces, attached horizontally and vertically to existing buildings.  The temporary will be in the form of smaller, more mobile greenery to entice and lead people to the bigger green spaces which will be fixed greenery in large expanses.  The smaller will be installations and will be constantly moving, adapting and responding to different spaces around the city to encourage mobility within the community.  When a mobile green space is applied to a building, occupants are encouraged to contribute to this green space eg. A public garden.  As a result, we aim for increased biodiversity, an enhancement in agricultural possibilities and increased interaction between humans and nature.  This could extend to greater opportunities for people to be more self-sufficient in terms of waste system management and food production.
