Excerpt:
For nine months uninterruptedly thousands of visitors passed daily through the “Climatic Machine” exhibition in the Greenhouse of the Ciutadella Park, organised by the Municipal Institute of Parks and Gardens of Barcelona. Visitors were able to see tomato and bean crops growing in the Picasso Room of the greenhouse, prepared in the facilities of the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology of the UAB (ICTA-UAB). Designed using the contents worked on by the UAB research group Sostenipra, the exhibition was completed with three audiovisual productions, a vertical garden and a model designed by the Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC). The maintenance of the hydroponic crops was carried out by the company Tectum Garden, a spin-off company of the UAB, specialised in urban gardens.
In a three-part tour, the exhibition aimed at uniting knowledge and art to address three concepts around greenhouses and the greenhouse effect, distributed in each of the three rooms of the installation: the past of greenhouses in the Magnòlies room; art, science and the greenhouse effect in the central space; and the future of these installations as a response to a more sustainable food in the Picasso room.
