Grow Bags @ London Architecture Week

As part of the London Festival of Architecture which started at the weekend and runs until 20 July, the What If team present Grow Bag.
Is it art or a solution to a problem? Isn't that what art is? A creative solution to a problem or discussion of an issue? Hmmm, whilst you ponder that, hop on the bus to N1, WC1 or EC1 to view What If's work.

"A SOLUTION TO INNER CITY LIVING? How can we meet the demand for 'grow-your-own' within dense urban areas where available land is scarce? What-if: projects place GROW BAG installations in Hoxton Square, Store Street and Cheapside to promote the use of vacant, neglected and undefined spaces in the inner city of London for the growing of vegetables."

VACANT LOT (allotment): Chart Street, N1
GROW BAG installation 1: Hoxton Square, N1
GROW BAG installation 2: Store Street, WC1E
GROW BAG installation 3: Cheapside, EC2V
PLANT ROOM: East Road, N1
