Under rapid urbanization, cities in India have diverged far their origins as sprawling tropical forests. The city of Bangalore, known as “Garden city” lost many gardens in the last decade or two. The lack of green causes various social problems such as air pollution due to over-abundance of motorbikes, air pollution, flood and heat island effect. In this context, new generations in urban areas are losing their connection with nature. Moreover, they are facing changes as it moves to a technological and manufacturing based economy, taking its toll on the environment. Increased droughts, floods and salinization jeopardize food supplies. “Greenwood Greens”, is an effort to change this situation as a role model. The aim of project is to return green space to the city and promote safe food production along with garden as well. Located at north of Bangalore and behind Manyata Tech Park, Bangalore, the multiple tenanted services office space demonstrates the possibility of vertical urban farming and gardens.

Its facade consists of hanged planter boxes with various local vegetation, allowing them to obtain sufficient sunlight. This green approach will provide safe food and comfortable environment with minimum energy consumption, contributing to the sustainable future of city.
