Symbiosis is an community based urban farming centre., its aim is to better the food system in Lincoln. It takes a circular economy approach by using a water collection system on the roof to collect rain water and feeds the hydroponic plants, after filtration and sterilization. Hydroponic plants do not only require the right nutrients in the water, but correct lighting, being natural or artificial. The design uses a retractable roof system and pivoting window slats to control light levels. When the sun is not strong enough, the roof deploys and the slats pivot to shade the building, with LED lights luminating the space. Once the crops have grown, they are prepared into nutritious meals to feed to the people in need, enhancing the food security in Lincoln.
