This is a rendering of the MARDI Vertical Farming Research Institute that was designed by Yasmin Rahma. We like the way that she took Malaysia as a country with significant food imports as her justification for vertical farming.
The project was basically an outcome of the book, The Vertical Farm, Feeding the World in the 21st Century, by Dr. Dickson Despommier. I really do hope that this project would inspire a new breed of green skyscrapers (partially) as did the Living Tower by SOA, Urban Farm by JNStudio, Editt Tower by Ken Yeang, and so many more.
