The Green Wheel by Libero Rutilo (DesignLibero) is a revolutionary rotary hydroponic garden that allows people to produce a constant supply of fresh herbs and salad in their own home. The inspiration came from NASA researches aiming at fresh produce supply on spaceships.
The Green Wheel has many benefits over the traditional garden. Its circular design actually fits more plants into a smaller area. The circumference of the wheel has a larger growing area that helps cultivate more plants with a lower energy cost. The disposition of plants around the light source helps to reduce energy consumption comparing to with traditional garden lighting. Meanwhile, the gravity’s effect helps to optimize herb and vegetable growth.
The Green Wheel zeroes the impact of food transportation. It eliminates the costs and the ecological impact of packaging and recycling. Fresh quality food can be available to everybody, even in your home.

Horizontal racks = less construction, more efficient use of space. Looks impressive for a cad drawing. Wildly ineffective use of space.

It's a proof of concept which makes it effective. It's a definite art piece and again effective in changing the look of its surroundings which haven't changed all that much over the last 70 or so years. Not everything has to be about efficiency and horizontal racks have as much of not more construction involved and with a few simple design changes that I can see with this wheel and its housing it could have even less materials involved in its construction and assembly.
