The museum Cultivate Newark focuses on connecting sustainability, education and community into one space through the context of light, time and the growth cycles of plants. The museum highlights how there can be a symbiotic relationship between urban and industrial life and food systems, emphasising the impact architecture can have on creating environmental awareness, social engagement and innovation. The museum builds on Newark-on-Trent’s industrial past, reimagining it as a hub for sustainable and efficient food production and an education space to encourage the use of sustainable farming to visitors, blending the historical identity of the site with future-focused environmental resilience.
