SEED BETWEEN THE LINES

by Amrit Flora

The project proposes a joyful seed library providing the local community a place for the non-financial exchange of seeds, books, recipes and ideas as well as seed laboratory facilities. The library will provide additional learning space for the local residents and neighbouring nursery’s pupils. These services will also encourage the community’s life long learning, health and wellbeing whilst supporting community cohesion. The new seed Idea Store will promote equality by responding to the local demographics and welcoming users of all ages and backgrounds. The vision is to create and space which blurs the boundaries between inside and outside, seeds and books, as well as real and psychological so that the widest range of users are attracted to engage with the seed library. The building is made up of a main library space accompanied by pods featuring a germination chamber, seed lab and a cafe.
