“The SPACEPLATES Greenhouse Bristol is the first building to be completed with the SPACEPLATES BUILDING SYSTEM [See two slides ago]. It is situated at South Bristol Skills Academy, City of Bristol College, Bristol, UK.
“A greenhouse is a contained quantity of air and light which extends the growing season and enables the thriving of plants otherwise alien to local climate. It creates a bubble of super-nature, where things otherwise impossible becomes possible. Even though almost completely transparent and thus in direct visual contact with its context, the smell, temperature, humidity and taste of things is significantly different than just outside the thin membrane. It enables us to create different kinds or quantities of food, but also to experience different climates and atmospheres. The greenhouse creates a significant place in everyday life.
“Wedged in on a small piece of land between large parking lots, the SPACEPLATES Greenhouse Bristol functions as a class room and growing space for the horticulture students and their teachers at the South Bristol Skills Academy. The greenhouse enables them to study and grow plants all year round, and will be used for seeding and growing plants for the outdoor gardens adjacent to the site.”
An interior view is shown in the next slide.
