EDITOR’S NOTE: Schipper’s studio focusses heavily on sustainability, functionality, and portability through “foldability”. The foldable greenhouse project emphasizes the importance of greenhouse convenience and accessibility. The design encourages individuals to take part in plant production in small surfaces. The micro-greenhouse allows for an extended planting season and greater possibilities for urban dwellers to go from “seed to harvest” themselves.
