Spanish designers Benet, Saida Dalmau, Anna Julibert, and Carmen Vilar have created this beautiful design for a spiral garden. It just won a designboom IIDA award and we can see why. It features a botanical-like-garden place where people can take a stroll, 170 spots to park your bike and a compost centre for you to drop of your scraps. It’s a wonder of sustainable design, urban farming and botanical beauty all at once.
The designers envisage it as a ‘green heart’ where humans and nature can co-exist. An allotment in the the sky.
