Rotterdam-based Van Bergen Kolpa Architecten has plans to build a Park Supermarket on 4,000 acres of agrarian land in Randstad, Holland’s largest metropolitan region (consisting of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht). As the name suggests, Park Supermarket would stock everything you’d find in a typical grocery store, except that instead of plucking your assorted vegetables and rice off a shelf, you’d get them fresh out of the ground. “People buy (and recreate and consume and learn) where the food is produced,” Jago van Bergen tells Co.Design in an email. The park would include everything from Pandan-en Risotto grown on water terraces to Tilapia farmed in man-made basins to kiwis and avocado raised on vertical walls.
Fuck Yeah Nederlande
Just to be clear, I didn’t put beer on my pumpkins.
