Outor Garden 垂直花园

In this project, designers, architects and engineers bring new possibilities of underground vertical space for human and plants. With the help of optical fiber to transport light underground, Outor Garden is committed to creating a vertical three-dimensional park in the future urban community. We created a new lighting systems based on optical developments. And with CNC automatic planting robots, citizens could personalize their own green space in the future.

Outor Garden 由设计师、建筑师与工程师合作，力图为未来城市探寻未来地下垂直空间新的可能性。通过光纤将光线导入地下，Outor Gaarden 为未来社区空间打造了一种新型垂直立体公园。孩子们可以在地表草坪上肆意玩耍，地下空间则用于种植社区居民所需的新鲜蔬菜，一条用于漫步的螺旋步道贯穿地表与地下空间。借助光纤采光照明系统与CNC自动种植机器人的发展，更加绿色环保与智能的未来社区生活成为了近在眼前的未来蓝图。

How to help cities grow in a sustainable way?

如何助力城市可持续发展？

Urban space utilization is becoming tenser, population density is increasing, and resources such as food have become relatively limited. However, high-rise buildings with increased floor space make the living environment of green plants worse, including problems such as reduced living space and insufficient sunshine time. How to maximize the use of space, energy, and solar energy to make future cities more flexible and sustainable has become an important issue.

城市空间密度与人口密度越来越高，对新鲜食物、自然空间的需求也因此受到限制。然而更多的高层建筑也在同样影响着地表的绿色生态，导致人与动物活动空间减少，以及接受直接日照时间减少。如何更高效的利用空间、能源与日照，从而让未来城镇社区更加灵活可持续已然成为我们需要思考的问题。

3 Plant Experiment: 植物实验

Find suitable plants for our concept 为概念寻找合适植物种类

By artificially cultivating different kinds of plants, we try to find the most suitable plant for cultivation in an optical environment.

This plant should also have convenient cultivation, less manual intervention, and low requirements for the living environment.

通过人工培养不同类型的植物,我们试着寻找最适合种植的植物在一个光学环境。

这种植物也应该培养方便,减少人工干预,对生活环境的要求较低。

Case 1 Tobacco cultivation：案例1 烟草种植

Tobacco seedlings in the central and southern regions are raised from January to March. During this period, the temperature and light intensity are the lowest throughout the year in all regions. The problem of "low temperature and low light" is often encountered during the seedling period, which makes the tobacco seedlings grow slowly and the quality of seedlings is poor. Poor resistance and other phenomena.

中南地区烟叶育苗在1-3月进行，而这段时间各地区全年气温和光照强度最低，育苗期常常遇到“低温寡照”的问题，使烟苗出现 生⻓缓慢，成苗质量差，抗逆性差等现象。 l利用增温补光技术，摆脱不利气候制约，缩短苗床期，延⻓大田生育期。

Case 2 Planting of Dendrobium officinale：案例2 铁皮石斛种植

The equipment simulates suitable environmental conditions such as substrate, temperature, light, air quality, humidity, etc., to form a professional and unique “microclimate”, and then uses modern agricultural management methods to control pests and diseases.

铁皮石斛茎中富含多糖、⻩酮、氨基酸等多种生理活性成分，具有抗肿瘤、提高人体免疫力、生津益胃、延年益寿等重要的药用功 效。但其对生存环境要求较为严格。

Case 3 Solanaceous vegetables：案例3 茄果类蔬菜

Solanaceous Vegetables refer to vegetables in the Solanaceae family that use berries as their food organs, including tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers. The LED light source made of phosphor and silica gel with a mass ratio of 1:10 has a more obvious promotion effect on the morphology of pepper seedlings.

茄果类蔬菜是指茄科植物中以浆果为食用器官的蔬菜，包括番茄、茄子、辣椒等。果实中含有较多的糖类、有机酸、多种维生素、 蛋白质等营养元素，而且产量高、分布范围干、栽培面积大，在生产、供应方面都占有重要地位。
