City and country commissure
“City and country commissure” named so by hard-bitten Bolsheviks, has interested the humanity ever since the first agglomerations appeared as there is absolutely no doubt that the village was the earliest formation on a healthy body of civilization.
“All we are fond of the potato when we nom it with pig salve” – what else can be added to words from a Vladimir Vysotsky’s song?
And town lads went to the grass-work so that the folk, the very folk that grows among many other things the potato and the pig salve could live better, more interesting and somewhat diversified.
Members of the Narodnaya Volya, the “twenty-five-thousanders”, newgrounders and even totally-overestimated-the-life-values financiers like German Sterligov.
A tiny village that foreseeingly hid itself into its secular visor has endured almost everyone, but to tell the truth not with the same success.
Experts from a French bureau SOA Architectes came down to the intriguing point from a crucially new angle, it means that they decided to implant the village with all its peculiar amenities and advantages into a city.
Yep, exactly the village as it is but not just some of its representatives and this is the other originality of the approach.
Villagers’ individual infiltration into many municipal corporations has been patented a long time ago and doesn’t set at any gaze. Well, perhaps from the lips of some not very politically correct townpeople this smoldering “And Still They Come” may sometimes be heard.
So what, is this trifle really a reason to brawl?
However, let’s return directly to our common friends from the French bureau as the work they do makes a great amount of people who are shut in “city caves” consider them their real and sincere friends indeed.
“A friend to feed is a friend indeed” – a little modified folk wisdom sounds in this way and the SOA Architectes team does really a lot to make the food fresh, nonpolluting and diverse.
Joking aside, all chips onto the table: the French bureau is developing city farm concepts for cultivating the most diverse croppers.
It would be useful to mention that all this is being projected for different types of buildings that beyond peradventure not only makes additional complexities but also fills the process with a more top-bracket flight of creative thought.
It – the thought as it is – is provided to be right on the button taking into account some aspects of megapolis life in general and peculiarities of city development in particular.
SOA Architectes cherishing and multiplying the aforenamed farms in every possible way makes them vertical and this allows beating back challenge both of a whirlwind urban tempo and tending to instant cost rise urban land absolutely in a different way.
City farms are a big deal.
They possess unique peculiarities and incontrovertible privileges.
Having chosen the perspectives granted by SOA Architectes among a wide range of produces a city dweller is deprived of a dubious delight to bother his head over the quantity of nitrates (and not only) that this of that fruit of vegetable contains.
The confidence is a hundred-percent since you get such guarantees as you bred it by yourself.
The next essential advantage can pleno jure be a line of “agricultural products with urban specificity”, the choice of which also depends entirely on consumer’s preferences who in this case finally overpasses a dialectical permanent discrepancy with a producer since he appears to be both.
Another plus can be scored in a a form of an eutrophy element, more rational correlation of albumen, apidose and carbohydrate intake in particular.
Of course it can be attained indirectly but a probability of more frequent degustation of what you have grown on your own is increasing reasonably that helps to reach the above mentioned effect.
The next item in the line of absolute advantages of vertical farms is their esthetic component.
No matter how hard might the proponents of an alternative color sensation perception excel but the green color traditionally symbolizes life and everything wonderful connected to it.
Say yes – much green is beautiful.
Both in a classical and in newly-Russian comprehension of the phrase.
Conducting a talk about a super farm that SOA Architectes offers you such an aspect as an appearance of additional sources of oxygen can hardly avoid your attention that considering a high level of pollution of many well-known cities gains in importance.
It must be said that the idea of city farms as a matter of principle isn’t new. What ornamental tomatoes, lemons and pepper are worth being cultivated on a countless number of balconies of our erst ginormous motherland?
However the SOA Architectes bureau has gradually and purposefully developed this idea to the level of contemporary engineering solutions that take into account a vast amount of many different factors.
Building construction configuration peculiarities, a floor, a sunny side or not and again the amount of solar days in a year for a concrete region – and this is only a tiny part of all those nuances that should be taken into account when projecting the city farms.
The French bureau SOA Architectes work on an every possible integration of a city and a village advantages that was successfully launched in 2005 finds more and more supporters among grateful consumers.
