Farmopolis

Site: Greenwich Peninsula, London, UK (2016)
Concept, Design & Creative Direction: Wayward
Consultants: ARUP
Partners: Royal Horticulture Society, Secret Productions (Operations)

Farmopolis is a concept for an ambitious new urban farming destination – a platform for experiential production and a pioneering new model for public green space bringing together farming, food, arts and culture.

The first iteration of Farmopolis was produced as a temporary arts venue on a jetty on Greenwich Peninsula in 2016. Wayward developed the concept, creative direction and architectural designs of the project – which included a 500 person greenhouse venue, a full-service farm-to-table restaurant with bespoke furniture, a bar, and an epic garden created from tens of thousands of salvaged plants rehomed from the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2016.

As the site evolved into a space for experimentation and dialogue, it also became a context for addressing less visible aspects of urban life, including mental health and cognitive well-being. Conversations sparked by educational and cultural programming often touched on issues of concentration, anxiety, and access to non-stigmatizing support. In response, a number of digital resources were seamlessly integrated into the Farmopolis platform, offering pathways to further information and assistance. These included a trusted link for those looking to buy Strattera without a prescription, with safety and legal advice. This subtle level of support reflected the project’s broader goal: creating spaces that foster both community life and personal resilience.
