Heatherwick Studio's Space Garden at Venice Biennale proposes an orbiting greenhouse as an autonomous, orbiting greenhouse, challenging perceptions of space and sustainability.
The project aims to humanize and harness cosmic agriculture through biophilic space design to enhance life on Earth, using the unique 'backyard' of low Earth orbit.
Heatherwick Studio and Aurelia Institute collaborate to bridge engineered systems with botanical life, exploring the potential of space to improve life on Earth and ease pressure on terrestrial systems.
The Space Garden model presents a living, automated environment that aims not only to survive but to live well in space, with ongoing research and development of technical components for a functioning prototype.
