"There's a little yellow greenhouse rolling through the city of Braga, Portugal, and it might just be one of the most charming design ideas to come out of architecture in recent memory. Not a concept render, not a speculative project sitting behind museum velvet ropes. It's real, it's on wheels, and it's on a mission to bring seeds and green spaces to the neighborhoods that need them most."
"The backstory starts at the Quinta da Armada urban farm, which sits in one of Braga's denser urban pockets, wedged between the rear facade of a shopping center and a residential building. On paper, it sounds like an unlikely setting for a garden. But that's exactly the point. The farm is a quiet, vibrant refuge, a small green oasis thriving in a place no one would think to look for one."
"The answer is a structure made of eight modular aluminum units mounted on wheels, wrapped in polycarbonate panels and curved sheet metal. The result is something that looks like a cross between a sci-fi capsule and an old-school market cart, all in a warm, eye-catching yellow. It covers just over four square meters, but its footprint on the city's imagination is considerably larger."
Sementeira Ambulante is a mobile greenhouse created by LIMIT Architecture Studio for Braga's Festival Forma da Vizinhança. It comprises eight modular aluminum units mounted on wheels, wrapped in polycarbonate panels and curved sheet metal, finished in warm yellow. It functions as a working greenhouse at the Quinta da Armada urban farm for seed germination and as a transportable unit that brings seeds and green spaces to different neighborhoods. The structure covers just over four square meters and visually combines a sci-fi capsule with an old-school market cart, extending a small urban farm's presence across the city.
