The Urban Skyfarm is a vertical farm design proposal for a site located in downtown Seoul, which mainly hosts local food production and distribution while at the same time improves the environmental quality through water, air filtration and renewable energy production. By lifting the food production field higher up in the air, the vegetation gain more exposure toward natural sunlight and fresh air while the bottom portion becomes more freed up providing nicely shaded open spaces for public activities. The Urban Skyfarm performs as a living machine bringing balance back to the local eco system.
