REWE Green Farming, Berlin
Over the past century, society has become increasingly disconnected from the natural world — from the rhythm of growing seasons to the origins of our food. As traditional markets evolved into supermarkets, convenience gradually replaced seasonality and locality. Creating a more sustainable food system requires food stores to once again function as true marketplaces, celebrating locally grown, seasonal produce and reconnecting people with the process of food production.
Following the success of the Wiesbaden prototype, the Berlin market is the second realisation of the 'REWE Green Farming' concept and demonstrates the modularity and adaptability of ACME's design.
