What would the Latrobe Valley where solar agriculture underpins a 21st century economy — and one that provides 50% of Greater Melbourne’s power? What you’re looking at is a prefabricated and repeatable greenhouse structure and restaurant. People visit, walk the property — and enjoy a day featuring food grown right there on the property. This prototype for Melbourne Design Week is a solar greenhouse to exemplify the future for the La Trobe Valley.

This event is part of A New Normal, a project led by Finding Infinity that challenges Melbourne to become an entirely self-sufficient city. This is explored through a series of installations and talks by Melbourne’s leading architects and designers in a former office building at 130 Collins Street.
