Manchester International Festival
MIF plan to transform an old mill on the bank on the River Irwell in Salford, called Irwell House into a sustainable site of urban agriculture. Transforming the derelict building as the festival takes place, inviting people to come and watch the transformation.
"this disused industrial site will be filled with innovative sustainable food systems, from agroforestry to aquaponics"

This seems like a very interesting project and something we could propose to engage with. Regeneration of an old site for something new and sustainable. The whole idea of urban agriculture fascinates me. And the use of an indoor both intrigues and baffles. It could be something visually beautiful and perfectly sustainable.
