Greenhouse Escapism

Greenhouses are interacting with urban environments in new and dynamic ways

Implications - New greenhouses in urban spaces are increasingly designed with interactive, digital, and urban life-enhancing functions. These installations, whether performative, functional or both, offer escapist spaces in environments that have become disconnected from the benefits of nature. As consumers increasingly understand the physical and mental benefits of environmental engagement, these interactive urban oases serve to cater to this shift.
Workshop Question - How can you adapt your products or services in a way that creates a more welcoming environment for your consumers?
Trend Themes
1. Interactive Greenhouses - Greenhouses are increasingly being designed with interactive and digital functions to offer consumers escapist spaces in urban areas.
2. Vertical Farming - Vertical hydroponic farming is becoming increasingly popular in urban areas to provide year-round access to produce for growing populations.
3. Digital Horticulture - Digital installations that integrate light and sound with plants are being used to create emotional connections between humans and vegetation.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Architects and designers can incorporate unique and interactive greenhouse designs into their projects for urban spaces, creating new sanctuary or community spaces.
2. Agriculture - Vertical hydroponic farming could be utilized to increase access to fresh produce in urban areas, contributing to sustainable food systems.
3. Entertainment - Digital installations that combine plant life and technology can be used to create immersive and entertaining experiences for visitors.
