TO A FERTILE WASTED LAND

This project had been concieved and done under a partnership with ENSP Versailles and Design For Change as part of the event Renaissance 2015 organized by lille 3000Change the way the Saint-Sauveur Station wasted land is perceived. The 23ha are meant to evolve into a new residential neighbourhood with 200 000 m2 housing, 55 000 m2 for offices, 30 000 m2 for shops and activities and 20 000 m2 amenities.

During six month, the trio R-ter has set up a concept of urban farm based on the wild ressources and the products of the wasted land. Through workshop, we have organized and driven discussion between stakeholders, designers and inhabitants. With a strong sense of communication and graphics, we scheduled the farm with events aiming to attract more people and introduce them to urban farming by distributing free seeds, or exhibiting ou work with the help of experts in ecology and farming. 

In 2018, the Farm For Change is still running. From 2015, with 30 smart pots allowed by the council, it has grow to more than 200 smart pots, in which people from the neighbourhood are growing their vegetable, and received professional advices, it is also a place to socialise and meet new people.
