Vortragsreihe «Ein Haus...»: «Bauen für die Nahrung»

On the occasion of the annual theme of the Institute of Architecture FHNW «Feed the City», the «Ein Haus ...» lectures also deal with architectural strategies for a sustainable food system. The two projects presented show in different ways what buildings for food production in the city can look like and what logistical challenges have to be overcome.
