A university in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, has gained an urban farm on its roof, measuring 7,000 m². The rice farm is inspired by traditional rice plantations found throughout the country. The project reuses rainwater to irrigate the plantation and has the capacity to store up to three million gallons of water.
The farm also has solar panels and study spaces for teachers and students to use for activities. “Today, with the increase in urbanization, the swamp areas have been replaced by concrete, which does not breathe, absorb water or produce food,” says a statement from the company Landprocess, which designed and built the farm.
