Pioneering chef Alice Waters's Edible Schoolyard programs has now spread to all 50 states. This one at P.S. 216 in Brooklyn opened in December 2013. WORKac, the New York architectural office of Amale Andraos and Dan Wood, designed the glowing structure with raised beds, a greenhouse, chicken coop, cistern, and an indoor kitchen classroom. It even channels runoff rainwater from its roof for reuse in its mobile greenhouse. A glass enclosure (left) slides off the main structure in warmer months to open up to the garden, which contains 1,600 square feet of soil.
