The vertical farming center in Yerevan, Armenia, it consists of a

few blocks: educational, office, hall, small library, winter
garden, and vertical farming. the The Vertical Farming Center is
located in a hill in the central part of Yerevan, where the
popular Youth Palace belonging to the Soviet Modernism in
Armenia was situated.

Currently, there the world populations counts about 7 billion

and the area used for agriculture equals to the territory of the
Southern America. In 2050 the world population will count
about 10 billion and in order to feed additional 3 billion people
an extra area equaling the territory of Brazil will be needed.
People use different types of chemical substances, e.g.
pesticides.

Taking into account also the city growth and development into
suburban areas it would be impossible to use such vast areas
under agriculture during time. Vertical farming solves all these
problems.
Basically vertical farming is a multi-storey greenhouse, the
main advantage of which is the maximum crop yield from the
smallest area which will enable to build such constructions in
the center of megalopolises.

In case of vertical farming a hectare yields 10 times more and

all year round. In the result we have ecologically clean food.
The water is filtrated and can be used several times. Power can
be obtained from solar panels or from other alternative energy
sources.

The hill is visible from almost all parts of the city. Considering
this the Designer, wished that the building green tower
becomes a symbol for Yerevan. Used plastic forms, and the
dominating detail is the multi-storey building which
summarizes the entire function and significance of the project.

The construction takes up the small part of the area. The main
part of the hill was improved and designed as a public area:
park saturated with water areas. The construction has 2
underground storeys, one of which will serves as car parking
lot, the other as packaging and storage place.

The three upper storeys are the rooms for technical service
including water filtration installation and reservoir. The roof of
the building is covered with green and solar panels. The grasscovered roof gives a number of climatic advantages and allows
collecting rainwater.

The educational section is connected with the office part

through the second and third floors as well as it has closed
bridge to winter garden. All functional zones are connected
with each other through logical bridges.

The educational part is connected with the National Agrarian

University of Armenia as well as with the original production of
crops grown by hydroponic method.
