On Saturday, December 14, we had the pleasure to have as guests Francesca Miazzo, author of the famous book "Farming the City" and back to architectural Play Studio, formed by Iván Capdevila and Vicente Iborra.
Each group presented its proposal in English to the present and after each presentation the guests discussed the most important aspects of each proposal, thus to improve the final project.
En esta presentación se intenta explicar de un modo rápido y conciso la esencia del proyecto, los huertos urbanos.
This presentation attempts to explain in a fast and concise the essence of the project, urban gardens.

PRESENTACIÓN / PRESENTATION:
As part of the THE EDIBLE STAVANGER EAST project, we have tried to introduce in our arquitectural proposal the idea of food as a concept of urban development considering the benefits for the neighborhood. Urban agriculture comprises the production, processing and distribution of food in an urban area. Many other related activities like for example creative business or cooking workshops can also be very interesting because of the positive effects in the community, working together to improve environmental, economic and social outcomes.
Our building site is in an industrial area, and we´ve tried to change the use and to transform it in an attractive project to increase the population density and to connect the site with the rest of the town. The proposal is defined as an organization of parts whose layout is based on modular laws, mechanisms through juxtaposition, overlap and slippage. Thus, the modules are taking a meandering shape on the horizontal plane and also in height moving endless forming step sections. This discontinuous, undulating route with a distance of homes that gives them more privacy.
We have design a modular buildings solution with an irregular layout that create a porosity atmosphere and invite to walk around finding out different spaces full of attractive plots of farming. The modules are planned to be an easy prefabricated and self-construction system with different kits options that the client can choose and built himself personalizing the final housing.
Solar access is a critical factor in this case, studding the amount of sunlight we have in every area, rain rates and the shadows, we have determine the types of plants are able to grow on each site.
The planting strategy must work within these existing conditions and constraints. Every crop has its solar needs; there are sun-dependent crops, buy also shade-tolerant plants. We have considered of course the shaded areas that will produce our buildings and trees, and the seasonal behavior of the sun before choosing the varieties. In Stavanger there are more than 260 rainy days per year, and this also determines what to plant. We can store rainwater in the modules roofs to use when necessary.
Considering the vegetables, fruits and herbs more likely to eat in Norway, and the planting time and maturity and harvesting periods, we designed the planting strategy taking into account ideal pairings of varieties depending of the speed in growing and the soil requirements of every variety. For this purpose a rotating cycle of four groups of plants with different soil demand, can be an intelligence option than allow the ground to recover its nutrients. Green houses are included in some flat roofs, to allow some year-round growing plants and herbs and so ensure that we’ll always have necessary cooking herbs on hand. Seedlings and composting from the waste from the crops to use it as organic manure or fertilizer are also related activities to do.
