Vegetables fight back: Laboratory of Urban Agriculture

'Recently launched from Paris is a website for the Laboratory of Urban Agriculture or LUA for short. Here it seems that the vegetable is staging a fight-back. LUA want to promote the idea and reality of urban allotment buildings and they see that the best way to do this is to create some kind of institute of the main players that will research problems associated with urban allotments, and make an effective lobby group for their promotion. The images provided appear to be from a single architectural practice, but nonetheless the questions raised are cogent enough.'

FORWARD RESIDENCE by REX - ARCHITECTURE

'By inserting a single object into the 48’ x 48’ space, the apartment is divided into rooms with distinct character, but whose uses are not fixed. This object makes essential daily service spaces—such as the kitchen and bathrooms—easily accessible from all points in the apartment, allowing the owner to re-configure the four surrounding living spaces at will.'
