mushroom carpark

I just found a piece of my work published on the VEIL website!

It’s a proposal to reuse multistory carparks as mushroom farms until they are demolished and replaced with something more usefull than inner city parking.

There is more detail on the VEIL site about the project.

“The Mushroom Carpark”  – Ben Doherty
This exploration offers an innovative approach to redesigning car parking stations into transitionary resources which could be used for mushroom production. Ben suggests that in the short-term future there will be reduced car use due to high fuel prices and the subsequent uptake of car-sharing schemes and cycling. The ensuing reduction of car use will provide a new wasted space – car parks.
