This project investigates the question if a potential city can exist in an agricultural tissue or vice versa if a city can be a fertile terrain for a new type of agriculture. The project starts from the extended landscape of greenhouses, which exist in the area of North Savica and experimentally verifies a situation where architecture and vegetation exist in a state of mutual empathy, one discovering the other.

With the appearance of a new kind of agriculture, which, using greenhouses, is defined by a higher degree of independence from the climate, and using hydroponics, is more independent from soil, the question arises, whether the resulting infrastructure can have an urban dimension. Following this hypothesis, the project proposes a hybrid transformation of the existing tissue towards a state in which new spatial alliances produce a new urban agriculture, a new form of garden-city. The aim is to develop a place, which does not only consume, but which also produces new relations with the environment.

By raising the productive layer, a new kind of public space becomes available. Inside of this space the effects of geometry, light, temperature, humidity, energy, colour and odours are shared and new relations between the human bodies of the inhabitants and the plants around them becomes possible. The buildings resemble climatic bubbles, or we could say spheres, sometimes one sphere inside the other, sometimes one above or beside the other. Inside this tissue new alliances between us and the environment as well as between one human and another human can arise and the potential for a new equilibrium between us and our planet becomes available.
