Garafolo Architects proposes new station stops (below) with public activity spaces and “continuous rooftop ecology,” making it one of several ideas in the BBV exhibit with emphasis on urban farming. Another, Hana Ishikawa’s “Urban Agriculture,” sets as its goal the production of “80% of fresh produce raised within city boundaries in 100 years.”"
