Harvest Green Project / Roms Architects
Roms Architects won first place in a competition conducted by the city of Vancouver called "The 2030 Challenge, which focused on solutions to climate change and housing development without carbon emissions into the future.
The building called Green Project proposes Harvest crops, which are achieved through vertical farms where fruit, vegetables and herbs are grown. Furthermore, fish, chicken and eggs to milk would be part of what this building might have on their spaces.
This building was designed to generate renewable energy, solar energy being the main wind. Solar power is achieved through solar panels built into the windows of the building, while wind power generated by turbines of different sizes. Moreover, the power generated is supplemented by methane gas derived from composting processes performed inside the building and a tank that collects storm water permits for irrigation of crops both indoors and outdoors.
