Here is a photo of the Wythenshawe Biosphere in full growth.

The biosphere builds on the research and ideas developed by URBED and partners on Alpha House, part of the Manchester International Festival and demonstrates emerging indoor growing techniques. The fitout of the biosphere was undertaken by our friends Biomatrix and integrates aquaculture, vermiculture, and hydroponics. 

The project has recently won a national PACE Award for Environmental Sustainability in partnership with The Manchester College. PACE awards are open to individuals, departments, schools and colleges that have introduced outstanding learning initiatives or techniques over the last 12 months.
