Humans require food, water and shelter in order to survive, however these things do not exist in abundance and make humans inherently dependent upon their optimization and preservation.

MEG is a greenhouse that allows complete control over the key elements for successfully growing plants, such as light-cycles (wavelengths, intensity, duration), ventilation, temperature, irrigation and soil PH. All the aspects regarding this hydroponic greenhouse are monitored and controllable remotely using a web dashboard.

MEG allows any plant to be grown following a “recipe” containing all the parameters for its settings during day or night for the growing periods of the year. These recipes can be shared among the users for their improvement.

WHAT I DID

Every single floor can be considered a module and can be managed independently by the central unit regarding light, humidity, temperature and the the solution with the nutrients. A web platform allows you to create a recipe containing all the values for the different phases.

The team of D’Alesio&Santoro designed and built the structure following my instructions regarding the hardware control. In addition, I developed the entire front and back end to easily allow any user to change the settings and to monitor the different parameters.
