Une tour maraîchère bientôt plantée en centre-ville. L'agriculture urbaine attire de plus en plus de villes qui souhaitent faire revenir la nature dans des zones urbaines.
C'est le cas de Romainville, en Seine-Saint-Denis, où un projet est actuellement en cours de conception pour créer une tour de plusieurs étages tout en transparence, qui accueillera une ferme maraîchère en plein centre-ville. Si des discussions sont en cours pour définir le modèle économique du projet, le fonctionnement général du bâtiment est, lui, bien avancé.
Il devrait s'agir d'une tour entièrement vitrée, telle une grande serre, dans laquelle seront intégrés des programmes différents liés à l'agriculture. Le programme insérera sur une parcelle d'environ 750 m², dans le quartier Marcel Cachin, située à proximité de logements et d'une résidence pour personnes âgées. "Il y a une volonté de recréer des liens urbains avec les autres bâtiments", précise le cabinet d'architecte Ilimelgo, en charge du projet. L’agriculture urbaine se développe partout et même à Marseille. Si aux siècles précédents, l’agriculture se cantonnait aux campagnes, elle s’installe depuis quelques années de plus en plus au cœur des villes.
Vincent Callebaut : «Des fermes verticales pourraient produire 30 % de l’agriculture bio consommée par les Parisiens» Adolescent, Vincent Callebaut ne voulait pas être architecte, plutôt horticulteur, il était passionné par le jardin de ses parents, le verger de ses grands-parents.
D’origine belge, il grandit dans une cité minière du Borinage, alors en pleine désindustrialisation. A Lyon, la ferme urbaine, ce n'est pas que des salades - Environnement. Les fermes urbaines débarquent à Lyon. C'est la salade de l'avenir : brillante, croquante, regroupant trois variétés sur un même pied, et vendue "vivante", c'est-à-dire avec ses racines dans une motte de tourbe.
Elle devrait pousser d'ici deux ans dans une immense ferme urbaine qui verra bientôt le jour à Lyon. Cette exploitation agricole inédite, création du troisième millénaire et baptisée Ful comme "ferme urbaine lyonnaise", a été imaginée par un groupe de chercheurs, d'ingénieurs et d'architectes à partir du modèle des fermes nord-américaines. Son lot d'innovations est mis au service d'un double objectif : produire "propre" en respectant l'environnement, et "en masse" pour répondre à la surpopulation.

Singapore is taking local farming to the next level, literally, with the opening of its first commercial vertical farm. Entrepreneur Jack Ng says he can produce five times as many vegetables as regular farming looking up instead of out.

Zombie-Powered Vertical Farm Keeps Inhabitants Safe from the Living Dead. Just in case Night of the Living Dead becomes a reality, zombie enthusiasts across the globe are gearing up to plan for the potential zombie apocalypse. The folks at Architects Southwest have devised a fun contest for designers and architects to create a Zombie Safe House.
One horrific entry is a self-sustaining vertical farm that uses a zombie-powered energy system, and also keeps its human inhabitants safely out of reach of the brains-hungry power source. Lured by hanging bait traps with delicious warm-blooded rabbits inside, the zombies will flood into a giant turbine in a frenzy, ravenous for tiny rabbit brains. As they attempt to grasp the tasty snacks, they’ll run around and around, turning the turbine and powering the housing system above.
Zombies may be slow, but their strength provides enough power to yield electricity and water pressure. On the surface, the humans can live safely in a cantilevered structure, centered around a spiral staircase that leads to each level. Tour vivante vertical farm living tower www.eco-tower.fr.

So if there’s no space to your left, or to your right, or below, then look up! Land, limited in the City of Los Angeles, is slowly becoming a commodity. And as new land becomes occupied by never-ending construction projects, it’ll eventually vanish so we need start thinking straight, or “vertically” I should say.
Land may dissipate, but space is limitless, so architects must eventually consider accommodating buildings to vertically grow crops. Projets > La Tour Vivante. What the Heck Is This Thing? - John Metcalfe. I have stared at this concept drawing for a London building for five minutes now, and I am still alternately amazed, confused and a bit scared of it. The tower's creator, the Hong Kong and Beijing-based FABLAB Design, is billing it as a vertical farm. But as my colleague Henry Grabar points out, it looks more like somebody used a cheat code in SimCity 2000 to build the biggest, whackiest arcology ever. To me, it's more like a race of mutated, Godzilla-sized dragonflies decided to have sex on a hyperspace Slinky. But who am I to judge? This heaping pile of visionary architecture recently won a trophy in the A' Design Award and Competition, an annual feting of ideas that's centered in Como, Italy.

When most people think of urban farming, they see in their mind’s eye small plots recovered from the rubble of demolished buildings, tomatoes on fire escapes, and planters on rooftops. But urban farming could be a lot simpler and straightforward, argues French firm SOA Architects. They propose “Urbanana,” a large greenhouse-like structure that can fill the gaps between Haussmann-period buildings along Paris’s boulevards. This facility would grow bananas, and other edible plants unsuited to Paris’s climate, obviating the waste of transporting these products thousands of miles. Here, then, is a truly local agricultural practice, one that can produce produce in quantities large enough to sustain whole cities. The 8 Most Interesting Ideas to Revolutionize Urban Farms - Lamar Anderson. Today, while the Center for Science in the Public Interest was busy coordinating Food Day events across the nation, we got to thinking about all the delicious plants that will have to grow on buildings if our rapidly urbanizing world is to produce enough sustenance for the projected 9.1 billion people who will need access to fresh food by 2050.

The Vertical Farm, agricultura urbana de altura ~ NQ. El Dr. Dickson profesor de salud pública y ambiental en la Universidad de Columbia en Nueva York, está considerado como uno de los principales expertos del mundo en las granjas verticales - un concepto teórico supone una alternativa a la hora de encontrar soluciones a nuestros problemas de producción de alimentos en el futuro.
Aunque todavía es una disciplina en la que la teoría, todavía no se ha trasladado a la practica salvo en contadas experiencias realizadas a pequeña escala. Ya se han creado grupos formados tanto por partidarios como por críticos, que defienden sus posiciones promocionando los beneficios de construir comunidades autónomas en rascacielos botánicos y los detractores preocupados por que la agricultura vertical ejercida a gran escala podría degenerar en malas practicas. Según sus estadísticas para el año 2050, casi el 80% de la población mundial vivirá en centros urbanos.
