The Center for Urban Agriculture is located in Rotterdam along the Maas River. Considering the problems of climate changing in Rotterdam, the project is defined by three main research themes: urban agriculture, water management and energy management. The idea is to propose a new kind of urban agriculture, the hydroponic cultivation, in order to develop in the Netherlands different possibilities to produce food in the city. In the Netherlands agriculture on soil is not possible anymore because of flooding and intrusion of salt in the ground water, so the proposal is a pilot project for small hydroponics cultivation in the cities. The function of the building is education in order to make people aware of what are the problems of climate changing and how to reduce the human impact on nature.
