My project is the future vegetable planting base to cope with the desertification environment caused by the greenhouse effect. This design aims at a future where desertification threatens global food security and ecological balance. To combat desertification, I designed an underground vegetable base using groundwater resources and equipped it with above-ground observation rooms to meet this challenge.
Underground Oasis
underground planting part
The underground vegetable base is an efficient agricultural system that can grow a variety of vegetables and crops in desertified areas by using underground water sources. Such bases not only conserve water but also reduce soil erosion and evaporation, improving crop yield and quality. At the same time, the underground vegetable base can also reduce the demand for limited land resources, thereby reducing the pressure of land desertification.
above-ground
In addition to underground planting areas, the base also has above-ground observation rooms. Through transparent, flexible solar panel materials, the energy of desert sunlight is fully converted for underground use.
In the spirit of reconciliation Monash University acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
