Today RexArrow sent me a link to the GOOD website, where I found out (among a boatload of other ridiculously cool sh*t) about a super smart idea with a futuristic form. Plantagon is a company that is designing ginormous "vertical farming" greenhouses for urban spaces, in order to cut out the stocking costs, as well as the carbon footprints, of produce that is often shipped hundreds of miles before reaching its destination. With the help of their Swedish engineering partner SWECO, Plantagon came up with the model above (as seen on GOOD) , which would allow a 10,000 square meter space to produce 100,000 square meters worth of produce! Looks like it time for us to get what's really GOOD.
