https://bit.ly/3Cp7PY1 An ambitious venture combining architecture, technology, engineering, and urban horticulture, 'Agrotopia' in the city of Roeselare, Belgium, is said to be Europe’s largest public building devoted to food production, designed and implemented by Rotterdam-based van Bergen Kolpa Architects in association with META architectuurbureau from Antwerp. Niklaas Deboutte, Founder, Partner, and Managing Director of META Architectuurbureau shares in an official release, "Agrotopia is a test case: building a greenhouse atop an existing building has never been done before on this scale and it presented many opportunities and challenges. The integration of the steel greenhouse with the concrete substructure of the industrial building and complex installations has resulted in a true public building of exceptional architectural quality for the city of Roeselare."
