The connector design greenhouse ensures healthy plants, as it provides plenty of green house space for growing plants. Paying special heed to the environmental impacts, the designers' main structural material became phyllostachys pubescens bamboo from forest thinning activities, enabling renewable use of bamboo materials. The need for a greenhouse that is capable of raising and managing plants efficiently resulted in this ingenious design. The designers fulfilled the requirement through a joint development project applying the hydroponics method of growing crops using no soil. Quite an impressive idea… What’s your take on that?
