  • Based in Buenos Aires, m7red is an urban resources network with archives, laboratories and consulting offices. M7red was founded by Mauricio Corbalan and Pio Torroja in 2005. Since then, they have been working with a wide range of experts and non-experts, analyzing, discussing, researching and making proposals on the most pressing political and urban topics. We are working on the boundaries between an NGO, a research group, urban consulting and a strategic forum.

    Several styropor containers provide enough space to to get rid of the ancient korean custom of planting vegetables as gardening. And as in Korea food is always about health, vegetables are distributed by their medicinal properties. The owner referred that due to leaking problems, he had to convert his former “rooftop garden” possible because of a thick plastic foil, into a parking area for styropor containers. This could be a solution for gardening in courtyards and rooftops that were paved to avoid leakages, the guy said. The small makeshift greenhouse serves to produce food to feed a colony of snails the onwer is breeding downstairs. He also fertilizes the plants with chinese medicins and compost produced from his daily waste of food.
