Modern architecture has a profound negative impact on the environment, accounting for 40% of total carbon emissions. ExoGarden is an innovative architectural prototype that allows rapid cultivation of shelter and food. Harnessing recent breakthroughs in space food production, this modular system exhibits the capacity to sustain life within resource-deprived, extreme areas on Earth and in space, while also bioremediating the environment. Such life-promoting, resilient strategies empower communities in harsh environments and set new paradigms for inhabitation.
