Jenny sabin: the greenhouse and cabinet of future fossils. Nov 05, 2011 jenny sabin: the greenhouse and cabinet of future fossils interior view east image © meagan whetstone american architectural designer jenny sabin has developed ‘the greenhouse and cabinet of future fossils’ in the american philosophical society‘s garden at the APS museum. it takes the idea of a greenhouse and puts it in a modern context. made of recyclable materials, the 16 meter (52′) long structure requires no heat. 110 cold frames are supported with CNC cut high density polyethylene sheets. the mini-greenhouses are situated between the open structure, and filled with edible and ornamental plants. each box measures 60 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm (24 in x 12 in x 12 in) and is removable and portable, allowing for winter gardening in urban spaces. the entire structure is pre-fabricated locally in philadelphia, USA and assembled on site. the ribs have a recycled plastic lumber board cross-bracing system, that is bolted into place, allowing for easy assembly and dismantling.

PARIS’ encourages the engagement of the visitors to the exhibition through what the london-based calls ‘cyber gardening’. the full-scale working model is equipped with ambient flows of energy (light radiation), matter (biomass and carbon dioxide), sensing technologies and a custom-designed virtual interface which processes digital information (tweets, images, stats)–bringing these components together to induce multiple mechanisms of self-regulation and evolving novel forms of self-organization. Akira nakayasu: robotic plant. Robotic action plant. Yaohua wang architecture: nanjing lab III. Nov 21, 2011 yaohua wang architecture: nanjing lab III South east view Nanjing Lab is a vegetation laboratory located in the historical district of Nanjing. Different from the traditional vegetation lab, which focuses on the attributes of the plants themselves, the purpose of the Nanjing lab is to test the plants’ behavior inside Nanjing city, for instance, the plants’ reaction to the the city’s polluted air and dust.
Therefore, the design focuses on being able to control the plant’s interaction with the outside. In the center of the lab, there is a central robot arm that is able to take out the core of the container and place them into storage for further research.
