Georg Kettele
Austria
I started my own studio in 2003 when I began studying architecture.
The main focus of my work is on given, real, or virtual spaces, scale, and the transient moment of the here and now. Ongoing research into technology and development is a core part of my process, constantly allowing for experimentation within new fields, changing perspectives on, and approaches to, what already exists. Each project starts as a tabula rasa; the given is seen as a challenge, while limits represent an opportunity. The variety of tasks undertaken keeps me fit in terms of the creative process, while exchange with external partners serves as a source of inspiration.

LOGIQS
Mobile growing systems
Maasdijk, NETHERLANDS
Logiqs is an expert in mobile growing systems. These are systems where the production of plants is done on benches that move between one, or more growing departments and a working department in a greenhouse or a vertical farm.
In these two environments, the conditions in which the plants are grown can be fully controlled. To accelerate access to honest food we want to contribute to a fairer food production system.
A system that brings the most healthy vegetables and fruits to consumers without damaging the planet and its inhabitants.
The HungryEcoCities project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement 101069990.
