InsectCity: fifth of insects can make Stockholm self-sufficient
The atelier Swedish Belatchew Arkitekter has one purpose: to make the city of Stockholm self-sufficient in proteins. To this end, his lab of experimental projects created the InsectCity, which includes the BuzzBuilding â€" a farm for the production of edible insects.It is estimated that in 2050 the Earth is inhabited by nine billion people and the issue of sustainable food production for these people remains. One of the solutions is to find an alternative to meat production and an available source of protein are the insects.There are about 1,900 species of edible insects and about two billion people around the world eat insects. The production of proteins from insects is more efficient than meat production â€" are accurate, for example, ten pounds of feed to produce a pound of meat but the same quantity of food allows you to produce nine pounds of insects.In 2018, Stockholm should have 940,700 inhabitants. According to the Belatchew Arkitekter to produce proteins from insects that match the meat consumption of the inhabitants have a farm with 500,000 square feet. And, by building insect farms in nine roundabouts of the city the goal of self-sufficiency in proteins can be reached.In order to allow citizens to view how can be urban insect production atelier designed the BuzzBuilding, which would be located in Vanadisplan, offering 10,350 square meters of surface for the creation of crickets. The structure consists of a building which integrates the production flow of insects, from eggs to ready-to-eat insects.Additionally, the BuzzBuilding aims to be a sanctuary for the endangered species of wild bees, which in addition to allow continuity of species allows Stockholm is a city with plenty of fruit and florida.The main structure of the prototype is a steel exoskeleton, coated with an external skeleton, inspired by the structure of insects. On the fifth floor there is a restaurant, where the insects are prepared and sold. The ultimate goal is to make the public production..fancybox-wrap { position: absolute; top:0; left: 0; z-index: 8020; } .fancybox-skin { position: relative; /*margin-top:20px !important;*/ background: #222222; color: #74b32e; text-shadow: none; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; } .fancybox-opened { z-index: 8030; } .fancybox-opened .fancybox-skin { -webkit-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); -moz-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); } .fancybox-outer, .fancybox-inner { position: relative; } .fancybox-inner { overflow: hidden; } .fancybox-type-iframe .fancybox-inner { -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; } .fancybox-close{ background: url('wp-content/themes/codistage/styles/fancybox/exit.png') no-repeat; width:25px; height:25px; float:right; margin-top:10px; margin-right:5px; } /*.ngg-gallery-image img{width:565px; height:393px;}*/Estocolmo, cidade dos insectos1of 10jQuery(document).ready(function($) { var thumbContainerWidth = 0, thumbs = Array(), selectedIndex = 1, thumbIndex = 1, imageOffset = 7; $('.ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box').each(function() { thumbs.push($(this)); }); /*thumbnail navigation */ $('.ngg-greensavers-thumb-next').unbind().bind('click', function(e) { e.preventDefault(); if(thumbIndex<= (thumbs.length-imageOffset)) { $('.ngg-thumbnails-container').stop().animate({ left : -$(thumbs[thumbIndex]).position().left }); thumbIndex++; } }); $('.ngg-greensavers-thumb-prev').unbind().bind('click', function(e) { e.preventDefault(); if(thumbIndex >1) { $('.ngg-thumbnails-container').stop().animate({ left : $('.ngg-thumbnails-container').position().left + ( $(thumbs[thumbIndex-1]).position().left - $(thumbs[thumbIndex-2]).position().left ) }); thumbIndex--; } }); $(window).load(function() { /* set thumbnail container width */ $('.ngg-gallery-thumbnail').each(function() { thumbContainerWidth = thumbContainerWidth + $(this).width() + 10; }); $('.ngg-thumbnails-container').width(thumbContainerWidth); }); });
