Reimagining Urban Spaces: Vertical Farming System by Utilizing Abandoned Subway Tunnels
Project Description
This project explores an automated underground farming system that transforms underutilized urban infrastructure, such as abandoned subway tunnels, into productive agricultural spaces. It combines controlled environment agriculture (CEA) with a rail-based robotic system that detects, harvests, and replaces crop modules efficiently. The design emphasizes modular planting units, spatial efficiency, and a sealed environment for optimized growth conditions. By integrating automation and sustainable design, the project aims to address urban food production challenges while reimagining unused city spaces as resilient farming ecosystems
