| J2J working towards new productive spaces for local food production |
Covid-19, ecological disasters, food scarcity, water problems, CO2 emissions, you name it. We’ve been interested since long ago on how to create what we call “Productive spaces”, searching how can space be used to produce instead of consume (being producing food, energy, water or simply creating spatial flexibility). We must re-think the way our buildings respond to people’s real needs and to the environment.
