A interview with the architect Chen Qihao

[12] [12]3]

K-Farm is located on the seaside of Kennedy City, Hong Kong Island. It is the first community farm that combines hydroponic, fish and vegetable symbiosis, and organic cultivation in Hong Kong.

I grew up in Hong Kong since I was a child. The place is getting smaller and smaller. About ten years ago, citizens began to go to the suburbs to rented farming species. It took several hours to return to and from the weekend.

[123 ] Hong Kong's Shenshui Po Community Agricultural Garden

Starting seven or eight years ago, the community farm has emerged in Hong Kong. Flow for 4 months, and then change to a group of citizens, waiting in line for a long time. Therefore, the government hopes to build an open community farm and enable a land to serve more citizens.

K-FARM where the original warehouse was originally in the dock. In 2019, we participated in the farm design competition of the Hong Kong government. After winning, the government leased this 2000 square meters of land to us for free to do a farm operation.

In May 2021, the farm was opened and opened, which was the third wave of the Hong Kong epidemic. Everyone was sleepy. Working at home, after finishing things, the farm becomes a very popular place.

Citizens can sign up for planting classes, or rent a planting box and hydroponic frame, and come to collect their own dishes when they have time. Because we are a non -profit institution, many of the harvested dishes will be sent to the elderly. Those who are not interested in farming also come to the beach of the farm to run, and smell the fragrance of flowers and trees.

hydroponic dish

100 square meters of hydroponic greenhouse 100 square meters In the space, the 6 -meter -high upper and lower floors are made to increase the usage rate. The amount of vegetables per month is about one ton. The citizens can look at the sea view while picking vegetables.

The greenhouse is designed as a 12 -shape, like a clock, with the orientation of the sun. , Just move to the sun with sufficient sunlight.

Each drainage rack is equipped with LED lights, and the vegetables are added to the vegetables when needed.

LED light can even control when the flowers are opened and what shape. For example, the chef may need a bud to be placed, even if the light is easy to shot to the shape of it.

Nutrition water tank

We think agriculture may not necessarily be The traditional and hard -working occupation is also related to technology and future. If humans go to Mars, they must create oxygen through hydroponic dishes.

Due to circular use, it can reduce 90 % of water. We will fine -tune the formula of nutrient water, control the sweetness of the dishes, and let it bring some grass flavor. I have planted it not long ago. A mustard -flavored lettuce is very suitable for salad.

Because the vegetables in the greenhouse are very dense, if there are insects, it will eat a whole row of dishes and lose huge losses, so we enter the greenhouse, so we enter the greenhouse When you have to pass through the box, blow away the insects, like entering the laboratory.

Although the greenhouse operation requires energy consumption, in fact, imported vegetables and fruits sold in Hong Kong supermarkets produced a large amount of carbon emissions in the food transportation process. In the greenhouse through technical control, we can also plant foreign varieties. We planted tomatoes and lettuce of Japanese varieties. In fact, I want to tell you that local farming has the opportunity to be self -sufficient. This is closely related to Hong Kong in the future.

The symbiosis , Caiworm, then pour crops with water containing fish stool.

The water of the fish pond automatically irrigated to an organic farming area

When the farm opened, we had 30 fish The fish pond was not surrounded, and the farmer was worried that someone would come to steal the fish. I did not expect that the fish was really less after a few days. We went to watch CCTV and found that the seagulls who stole the fish were originally seagulls.

We told the farmer that there is also a good thing to have seagulls. Fortunately, these fish have grown rapidly, and now they have grown from 30 to more than 200.

Animals appearing at k-farm

Bio diversity is a wonderful thing,, Although there are many parks near the farm, the park has long -term habits of pesticides, and bees and butterflies are afraid to go. From the beginning of the operation, all dishes have no pesticides, attracting seagulls, birds, frogs, and bees.Butterfly.

I also asked farmers to ask the farmer, specially planted a variety of local crops, suitable for different insects to eat. For example Grain. In fact, there should be a small piece of biological diversity in each district.

The area where the wheelchair is designed with a farming area

] The organic farming area is everyone planted in the fields. There are many people in the community in the community. We have designed a area of \u200b\u200bfarming and placing the field box on the height that suits them. A good change, but it can give them the opportunity to experience it.

Children like to squat farming areas. My son is very happy to squat in the field, like playing sand pools for him.

K-Farm cornfield

We asked nearby residents to conduct an intention to investigate. They all said that the seaside was so strong and the salt was high. We must not plant vegetables! But we all successfully planted sweet strawberries and cornfields more than 2 meters high.

Choose the seedlings of Xiaofeng's outdoor or greenhouse for seedlings. After growing up, it is transplanted. The vanilla rack is fixed, and the tomato is used to protect it ... Finally, the plant proves that the plant is proved to be a plant. The growth ability is very strong.

The building is inlaid design, which can be removed

To do this farm is what is going on to be passed on to the residents of \"green life\".

Green buildings are an integrated system, because this land is a three -year lease. If the contract cannot be renewed after three or years, it may be moved away, so Our architectural design is inlaid. Disassemble the screws and can carry it one by one. When we go to other places, continue to be farms.

Meeting rainwater on the top of the gazebo

In addition to enjoying the sea view, it is a collection of rainwater. The system, the top of the gazebo is made of sunken storage rainwater, and then citizens who participate in the planting class can use rainwater to irrigate.

The top of the office is equipped with solar panels

The top of our office, a solar board, can be able Meet the energy use in the office.

I am an architect myself, and I also became a farmer during the operation. When we built the farm, the four of us moved more than 20 tons of mud by themselves. It was okay to move the moment. We ca n’t lie in bed for a week when we return home for a week. We can only sit and sleep.

The agricultural knowledge accumulated in K-Farm will be brought to the building. For example, I also do community planning in Shenzhen. It is recommended that the squares and parks can open a small community agricultural garden, and combine restaurant kitchen waste into farm gardens to help solve the problem of urban food waste.

In the future, there may be farms in urban buildings and offices. The distance between farming and urban life is closer step by step.

Liu Yuelai

There are communities in 18 districts in Hong Kong. Farmers, in high -density cities such as Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok, in recent years, community farms have also been common. We are curious about the development of urban farming in Beijing, Shanghai and other cities. To this end, we interviewed Liu Yuelai, a professor at the Department of Landscape from Tongji University.

Liu Yuelai is also the co -founder of the \"four -leaf cottage\" of social organizations. The team has built more than 200 community gardens in Shanghai, with 20 to 30 every year The number is increasing, and he talked to us with personal experience, how to grow vegetables in urban gaps, the difficulty of community farm development and future urban agriculture.

Q：一条

[123 ]

Q: If an ordinary citizen, if you want to develop farming in your own community, what suggestions do you have?

a: I can talk about the experiments I have done first. A 120 square meter garden, the money spent no more than 500 yuan.

First of all, you have to discover those \"negative\" places, for example, a lot of small shrubs of garbage, long -term deserted weed bushes, first take photos, leave this evidence to leave this evidence, leave this evidence, and leave this evidence. It proves that this place was really bad. I told a few neighbors and said that we made some seeds for everyone to beautify their homes.

Liu Yuelai took this small garden to pick up the garden Name \"Moss Garden\"

We split the seeds and insert a small labelIt is said that everyone can feedback, and the QR code is also contacted. Gradually this matter has also been recognized, and the secretary of the neighborhood committee and the property manager came in in the group. In the spring of the following year, the garden was very good. It also planted vegetables, like sweet potatoes, ginger, Houttuynia cordata, but did not grow vegetables so much.

When going downstairs to do nucleic acid during the sealing period, you can see that the Eroton blooms in February and the butterfly is around.

After the unblocking of Shanghai, clean up the garden with the children of the community

] I have a small action recently. Children in the community support the time of nucleic acid testing. After passing through the garden, they take pictures to observe the changes in the plant community.

I will guide children to discover which ones invading species, such as the American Shanglu, One -year Puff, Xiaofeng and so on. The recently emerging Haizhou Changshan has a strong vitality, which is easy to suppress other flowers, and also affects driving distance. After unblocking, we clean up the community gardens jointly participated by the residents of our community.

Liu Yue teaches other residents of other communities to build gardens by themselves

Q: Is it possible to promote your community farming?

a: During this Shanghai epidemic, our \"four -leaf cottage\" team and the SEEDING Alliance of the National Community Garden released a white paper in the Chinese community garden garden. Create an announcement and advocate everyone to come to \"a group of gardens\" together:

If more than 50 people living in the community where you live, more than 50 people are willing to transform the same community green space together, and we can contact us. support.

In June, we wanted to promote this on a large scale.

This is a bold idea, because many buildings and owners in the epidemic have been established, and 50 people have become feasible, and it is difficult last year. Greenland transformation is not only to plant some dishes, it has publicity, you can make friends here. Children can treat it as a free game field. They are no longer space consumers, but they have become producers: we can Create the ideal space we want. The most convenient source of this land is the land in the community, because in accordance with the urban greening regulations, residents are actually the direct responsible person of the greening of the residential area. I said you don't have to find anyone, just do it directly.

You have to discover those negative places in particular, there are a few neighbors to testify, and then clean up the weeds.0 dollars, many plants were cut in the community. Many heads of regiments emerged during the Shanghai epidemic, which is equivalent to a community garden of 50 individuals. There may also be a negative land on the way to school near the family, and the condition is very bad. The representatives of the people's congress at the provincial and municipal levels are expressed to express public opinion.

Q: The \"Chuangzhi Farm\" hosted in Shanghai is very similar to Hong Kong K-FARM. They are all open neighborhood farms. Please talk about the wisdom farmland. Difficulty of origin and promotion?

A: Chuangzhi Farm is the first open block farm in Shanghai, 2200 square meters, 500㎡ is vegetable planting, 500㎡ is fruit tree Planting, about 40 \"one -meter vegetable garden\", residents can recognize construction and adoption.

It is the land for all urban parks of the government. After the creation of Chuangzhi Tiandi helped the government in 2016, our \"four -leaf cottage\" as a social organization was responsible for creating operation and maintenance.

In the beginning, residents nearby were small, and they needed to gradually cultivate -this is community creation, which is the essence of Chuangzhi Farm. We insert rice, plant sweet potatoes, and plant cotton, and slowly residents will come over and ask. In the fourth year, more and more community residents have become volunteers, including community garden partners as rotating support, and we basically have no full -time employee station.

Residents' adoption \"one -meter vegetable garden\"

In Hong Kong, community farms generally have foundations for foundations Support, but in us, there are few support for foundation or social fundraising. How to maintain basic operating income is important. In recent years, we have gradually found a very important way to survive -to give lectures for groups to visit, Acquisition visits, online and wired, all are recorded on the head of the farm.

The children are in Chuangzhi Farm

123] Q: When did the urban cultivation develop in Shanghai? The development of big cities in China?

A: The needs of Shanghai citizens for urban cultivation, I observed it after 2010. 2010 is a very interesting time in Shanghai. The Shanghai World Expo is held.The theme is \"the city makes life better\". Many people have opened their horizons. Some public participation cases abroad inspire everyone.

At the beginning, everyone went to the suburbs to grow vegetables, and then said whether they could plant them in the city. Farms began to appear on the roof of the mall. pig.

In the high -density central urban area, the more people feel the demand for nature. Urban Farming (urban farming) in Mainland China is currently mainly distributed in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Chengdu, and often appears in the new and old -fashioned areas.

For example, on the edge of the village in the city in Shenzhen, after Chengdu demolished a illegal building, the citizens were allowed to plant things. Because there are good management places, it must be constructed in accordance with the standards of garden greening, and some new and old combinations and urban -rural areas will appear in some ambiguous state, which is particularly energetic.

Chuangzhi Farm cornfield Urban agricultural development?

A: As far as I know, residents with space in this wave of epidemic have begun to grow vegetables.

I have a point of view. In fact, what is the green belt of the community, it is exactly the resident. As long as you do not cut the tree, do not reduce the green land rate, you love under the tree, you love under the tree What kind of planting.

However, the fruits and vegetables planted cannot be harvested at one time, and it is impossible to turn all the green space into naked soil. There is no problem with the harvest of the other. Because I have been studying the management of green space landscapes, no regulations stipulate that dishes are not green.

The technology of planting vegetables is not difficult. Sprinkling a seed can always grow, and more importantly, to do community work. The isolation of this epidemic allows everyone to have a good opportunity to contact intimate contact. Many buildings and groups have been established. Inaccurate sense also makes everyone want to explore the land productivity of the nearest community.

Liu Yuelai's deciduous collection place

From the perspective of zero carbon city, The land of the city is not only used for viewing. It has the same productivity and allows nature to do it, which is the excellent practice of double carbon.

For example, I collected rainwater in the community garden, dug a lot of ditch, piled the fallen leaves on it, naturally fermented, and slowly turned into fertilizers. Hua, come here to pick up the soil. I also used the wire mesh to collect the basket. The cleaning aunt naturally swept the fallen leaves.The zone has a self -cycle nearby.

During the planting process, people will have a consciousness to maximize the natural resources around them, and the impact of living habits is very great. As a result, our team's community garden experiments in Shanghai have achieved the possibility of completely civilian independent production. Participants are not satisfied with experiments only in their own communities, but hope that they can be more public in space. Such as a small space on the roadside where children go to school and go to work.

The full development of the people's subjectivity is the sustainable home that each citizen can really settle down.

Recommended/not recommended planting in Shanghai

Being a community in Shanghai in Shanghai Garden, the first choice is recommended to be a garden of vanilla, such as rosemary, Lales, mint, wormwood and so on. On the one hand, everyone likes to see it, it is better to take care of, and they can also produce things to eat or do it.

It is recommended to plant ginger, because it grows like a bamboo, very beautiful, and it is pretty delicious, and it is also suitable for planting under the tree. In addition, the fruits such as small pepper, peas, peanuts, fruits, and blueberries are also very popular.

Because the community garden still belongs to the public space, it is not an individual's self -reserved land, and the economic crops should not be too much. The misunderstanding of occupying the king \".
