  • Hydroponica is a concept space that would educate students in the neighboring communities while also giving back to the area.

  • Hydroponica is perfectly situated in a space that is close to many NYC public schools, and sandwiched between the New Museum and the Bowery Mission.

  • In the first level, Hypdroponica would serve as both an education space for students to learn about hydroponic gardens, as well as an off-hours market for consumers to purchase herbs and vegetables grown within the space.

    The second level would serve as a donation area where students and volunteers would pack produce for the Bowery Mission.

    The third level would serve as a learning kitchen where children would get taught to make meals with the produce grown.
