“Danish studio EFFEKT has envisioned a self-sustaining, off-grid village of greenhouse properties, which it will present inside the Danish Pavilion during the Venice Biennale.
Called ReGen Villages, the project imagines a community of buildings that produce all their own food and energy – a model that aims to tackle a wide spectrum of global issues, from the food and water crises to the rise of CO2 emissions.” -DEZEEN
“With the integration of such technologies, ReGen Villages holds the potential of radically changing the conditions of a rapidly growing population, increasing urbanization, scarcity of resources, the growing global food crisis as well as reducing the global CO2 emission and reducing the burdens on municipal and national governments in dynamically changing planetary and economic times. But ReGen is about more than reducing. It is about creating. Creating a better model for a sustainable future, where the current living standards can be sustained by thinking smarter, not only smaller. A model that adds not only environmental and financial value, but also social value by creating the framework for empowering families and developing a true sense of community, where people become part of a shared local eco-system, reconnecting people with nature and consumption with production. An eco-system that restores high biodiversity in the surrounding landscapes due to a significant smaller production footprint.” - EFFEKT
