The knowledge generated through VITALITY CITY can be applied globally and contribute to international efforts to mitigate climate change. Thus, the project delivers a concrete contribution toward a sustainable and climate-resilient future for urban environments.
Read moreThe photosynthesis rate is one of the most important indicators for the sequestration of carbon and thus the energy of plants.
Read moreBetter Plants and the vfi sharing research facilities in Eastern and Western Austria. Main goal of the development of in-Vitro processes is to investigate to what extend conventional uses of indoor farming (CEA-practises) could be accompanied with in-Vitro-technology
Read moreGoal of the partnership with Better Plants is the standardization of data collection and management to set up an adequate basis for AI-integrated optimization processes. ALINA is a central testing facility for it. :: Horizon 2020 :: euPOLIS-Project
Read moreFood production in greenhouses has a long tradition. New technologies give the opportunity to develop this kind building type. The development of alternative cultivation methods, compareable to the invention of the elevator for skyscrapers, lead to a new building typology – the vertical farm.
Read moreBeing part of the multidisciplinary process allows us to meet both specific needs from the municipalities and combining them with locally existing potentials to set up an action plan to prepare a solid basis to implement new building typologies.
Read moreUpcoming EU Taxonomy, ESG-criteria and all related changes to CO2-emissions lead to rethink potentials of low-energy-standards of existing buildings. Expanding the lifecycle of buildings by activating it for food production leads to effective productive and resilient cities.
Read moreThe city of St. Pölten, in pursuit of its vision of becoming the fittest city of Austria, has aligned its strategic goals with the Smart City concept; urban food production asks for being the fourth column of it.
Read moreThe Vertical Farm – a building typology which accepts the limits to growth, acknowledges scientific evidence, the intrinsic human drive for change to the better, the appreciation of life.
Read moreOur forth demonstrator can be seen and touched until the end of august 2022 at the Technical Museum Vienna.
Read moreVertical farming is currently being intensively researched as a possible future form of food cultivation for the growing world population, and is being tested and implemented in sustainable, economically functioning production systems.
Read moreThe Firewall is a vertical farm that has developed from the search for unused properties in the city. The design concept is based on the basic premise of using inner city densification for the production of food.
