Sun Tunnel

Abstract: This thesis project aims to repurpose an abandoned railway tunnel in Eriksdalslunden, Stockholm into an experimental activity/farming center for the purpose of teaching people of all ages different farming methods. The learning center implements exciting farming techniques such as aquaponics, where plants get their nutrients from live fish.  This center also teaches about the new technologies that make it possible to grow plants beneath the earth´s surface. These technologies harness the benefits of the sun into a concentrated form and then leads it deep underground. Repurposing unused underground spaces such as this can help develop our cities in a more efficient way.
