For Urban Legacies, the Slovenian artist and architect Marjetica Potrc has developed Urban Farm, an elevated living structure where the walls and roof are used to grow a variety of seasonal vegetables, herbs and flowers, tended to by the in-house gardener. This produce is then available to buy downstairs from a market stand, providing fresh produce for the local community of Cardiff Bay.

This project is part of Urban Legacies: Another New Babylon, a series of public art projects commissioned by CBAT, the arts & regeneration agency, Cardiff.
