Adamá LAB plaza was created as part of i.d.e.a. Lab, a successful playful-learning project done by ARCO Arquitectura Contemporánea for Colegio Israelita de México.
The project has an area with growing beds, medicinal orchard and a green corner, which is an area dedicated to the process of the foods that are grown and harvested. The concept of this space is that any age students can get involved in organic farming, from seeding until having a real product that has been processed and then it can be eaten.
Ecofriendly finishes were selected for the design such as the permeable concrete floor, glassy (ekol) covering for the stands that is made of recycled materials and has the quality of maintaining the same temperature of its surface. Synthetic deck was used for the orchards, as well as ecofriendly paint and waterproofing to protect the crops from pH changes.
