For us who have lived far away from the earth, being close to it can be a symbol of humanity and composure. The reason why we need urban agriculture is simple. We need a buffer. Fill the city with loose and soft soil every nook and corner.

A solar panel was installed on the south side of the building to produce about 7,300 kwh of electricity annually. It is a desire for everyone to communicate with one another and share time for a better life and create social and economic value.
