Exterior View - Hydroponic Farms
The analysis considering the material, structural member specifications, mass and displacement in the structure provides the possibilities for an optimized structure. The optimized structure is used to house hydroponic farms. These farms can be deployed in almost any environmental or geographical conditions and can help provide consistent supply of produce all year round.
