Located on the most popular squares of Madrid, Strawberry Fields is a kiosk mountable and desmountable by one person.
It’s made by a organic module made of mycelium. That’s the container of the strawberries that remain alive all the process. Once they are picked they are introduced in the modular container and kept alive with a hydroponic system.
The module allows to storage in multiple ways optimizing the volume. Then, it allows to mount it in a creative way on the street, self supported. It dissappears when everything it’s sold.
Once it’s sold, the costumer only has to plant the container or keep it since the strawberries are fed with the mycelium of its container and the hydroponic system inside. After a few weeks the cointainer dissapears and the strawberries are rooted on the costumer’s field.
These modiules are made in Casa de Campo, Madrid. The Mycelium Factory is a cave where the mycelium can grow in darkness. It’s also an educational path from Lago Metro. When the Mycelium is made, it takes form and the strawberry seed is introduced to be grown during 100 days on the exterior while the rails are moving to the checking point to be taken for selling.
The Mycelium factory is surrounded by workers housing which include café, restaurants and meeting spaces on the ground floor. It’s remarkable that the bricks of this houses are made of compacted ground extracted from the caves below.
