With the completion of the vertical farm in Beijing, China's first urban food production innovation center built by van Bergen Kolpa Architects for the horticulture company AgriGarden and the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences CAAS has now opened.
With its intricately carved glass facade, monumental entrance hall and rich multi-layered functions, Beijing Vertical Farm has created an unforgettable face for the city's gardening architecture. Through water reuse, passive heating and natural cooling systems, the building demonstrates how food can be produced sustainably in an urban environment.
The Beijing Vertical Farm is a proud steel and glass sculpture with mainly agricultural and public functions. The building is composed of a slender steel structure glass greenhouse eand a series of transparent glass bays. It is unique and well-proportioned under the Beijing sky. The carefully crafted transparent glass facade gives the main facade a unique temperament.
