Loop.ph, a London based research and design studio that aims to bridge the gap between design and natural sciences. The project that is titled ‘Metabolicity’ and it focuses on a metabolizing of resources and waste to supply a cities inhabitants with all the nourishment they need. This project involves growing food in the city and they have seeded design projects within an array of environments from housing estates, to restaurants, offices and community centres. The projects aim is
“to raise large-scale awareness about the importance of localised food production and the reconnection with life sustaining practices”
Within the project as illustrated, through design and research they developed a system based on the microscopic connections bubbles make when they link to form adaptable structures that can be implemented within a number of urban environments, both indoor and outdoor, all capable of being utilised to grow food in and around the city.
