Abstract

Nomadic Allotments© is part of a major applied research on ‘Potential Eco-frames’ carried out by Dr Cristian Suau and Rachael Davidson since 2004. It explores the possibilities to build up low-tech systems with zero environmental impact. It offers a feasible solution to construct your own allotment without having a land. Each mobile allotment has been constructed from reclaimed materials mainly pallets boards (frame) and packaging cases (flowerpots). Functionally each device offers a variety of growing, eating and seating areas for market-goers, local visitors and residents alike. London Festival of Architecture. Borough Market and WSA were the main supporters.
