Vertical Farm at Chicago Airport: Simple and Cool! →

agritecture:

I just stumbled upon this great post about a new Vertical Farm project at Chicago airport. Check out the images and notice the varieties of foods that can be grown on these small food production towers.

Set in a seemingly unused nook of the G Terminal, a mezzanine space has been transformed into a high-tech urban garden. I see a lot of projects like this one – usually they have a DIY vibe that is quite inspiring (hey, even I could do that!) This urban garden however looked like it came out of a ride at Disney.

SO COOL!

Edible flowers and ready to eat lettuce. Yummy!

What looks like the most comfortable chairs in the airport are set up around the installation with tables to create a park-like setting. Between the view of the runways and the “sunny” urban garden I now know where I’ll be killing time for the next delayed flight.

Make a Delicious-Smelling Wallet Out of an Empty Coffee Bag →

Lifehacker has featured duct tape wallets in the past because they’re free and, despite being hideously ugly, pretty awesome. On the flip side, a wallet made out of a coffee bag fits in the same DIY happy place, while actually looking nicer than something you might find sold in stores.
