Text description provided by the architects. G(U)ARDEN, urban vertical garden to test the effect of the urban environment and horticulture Urban planners, designers, and environmental and natural science specialists have been brought together to work on the experimental research project to study the interaction between the urban environment and horticulture. On the one hand, it’s clear that urban agriculture reduces air pollution, collects runoff and puts it to efficient use, increases the productivity of otherwise unused space, cools the city during periods of high heat. But it is not clear how safe are urban gardens if we talk about food. For the purpose of this interdisciplinary research, interior architecture office Annvil has established the first urban vertical garden in Riga, Latvia.
