CONTEXT / DESIGN IDEA
Purposeful Idea + Sustainable Approach + Engineering Challange. What can a designer wants more...
Agricultural lands only in Turkey have decreased from 28 million hectares to 22 million hectares in the last 15 years, and the efficient use of fertile soil has gained importance in the same period. These were the main reasons for the creation of the Katova project.
For vertical gardening, it is not important whether the soil is fertile or the land is mountainous or not. Thanks to vertical agricultural units, greenhouse cultivation is becoming widespread, with more controlled and more efficient methods.
A new agricultural opportunity is formed. Thanks to the revolutionary design, the stakes of the product itself and the fruits/vegetables that will grow during the production increase by two times.

TARGET
Without the need for land and the use of organic foods, it will be an opportunity to increase the awareness of societies about the importance of agriculture again.
Katova products are designed to be used in a wide area and to appeal to different users. In this way, the front of the product could be open to the gastronomy sector, restaurants, or it can be used by the individuals.
