February 23 – March 13, 2022
Exhibition of the BME Department of Explorative Architecture
vernissage: February 23, 2022 | Wednesday | 18:30
The topic of the course ‘Workplaces II.’ at the Department of Explorative Architecture was a design of a building whose technology can ensure the future viands supply. Indoor farming, glass houses and vertical farming create an opportunity of a novice, more efficient agricultural production all year round, compactly, indepedently of climate, even in urban environment. Plants that are grown indoors, provide an output, quality and water use that are easily controllable, increasable and the external factors’ influence is negligible compared to traditional outdoor farming. The students had to choose planning locations for the utilisation of this new technology that are in extreme situation. In the educational groups – each focusing on a locale of extreme environmental and climatic charateristics – the students worked in pairs with the help a supervisor.

The planning task consisted agricultural-industrial production capacity accompanied by a research hub, accommodaton, laboratory with a use of renewable energy sources – reflecting on the given crisis situation or the global climate change threatening the local ecosystem.
