Dan Barasch and James Ramsey imagined having an underground
garden. Kind of like a park, actual sunlight hitting your face and warming you
up, where you can walk through, sit and read a book, or even have a picnic,
just underground. They teamed up and turned an abandoned trolley terminal into
the first underground garden. They used the technology of fiber-optics to bring
the real sunlight inside. It can capture sunlight from the rooftops and pipe it
down to shine out of the fibers. They also have big “skylights” that allow the
sunlight to shine directly through.
I think this is an amazing idea. The fact that it
uses the real sunlight to make all the fibers shine is great because you don’t use
electricity, your reusing the suns energy. They should make this a worldwide
thing and have them everywhere. People would enjoy them tremendously.
