My name is Guðjón Logi and I come from Iceland I´m 26 years old, I was born in a town called Hafnarfjörður with is a small fishing town next to the capital of Reykjavík. My biggest interests have always been nature and technolgy, I really dislike how we are treating the planet, and I think it´s not alright that the bigger part of people can´t make anything them self, both in the sence that most people do not knowledge or the place to grow there own food, and the machines to make there own things, this is both going to change in the coming years.
The Greenfablab is located in Valldaura barcelona the place has a really long and old story.
History from the valldaura website
More than 850 years of history
Valldaura is a magical place, a land where the telluric forces have entered into resonance with time and weather and human history, with over 850 years of settlement by the monks, kings, knights and citizens who built this place.
The history of Valldaura is one of successive periods of progress and decline since the 12th century.
A Cistercian monastery in 1150, a royal palace of the Crown of Aragon in 1297, a district of Barcelona from 1517, a farm since 1888 and now a research centre (2010).
Valldaura is about connecting age-old ancestral knowledge with the most advanced technologies.
Chronology
1150. Monks from the monastery of La Grande Forêt, in Toulouse, established the first Cistercian settlement and built a monastery in Valldaura.
1169. With the founding of the monastery of Santes Creus, in Tarragona, Valldaura became a linked property.
1297. James II, grandson of James I, creates a hunting palace. Valldaura belonged to the Crown of Aragon until 1475, but the exact date of its acquisition is not known.
1326. James II gave the land to Queen Elisenda, who wished to found a monastery, but she finally decided to establish it in Pedralbes.
1327. Valldaura became a hunting ground of Alfonso III (1327-1336), Peter III (1336-1387) and John I (1380-1396). In 1351 the king purchased a piece of land from Pere Desmàs to expand the estate.
1376. The Crown purchased the house from the Marimón family, sold it in 1380 and purchased it again in 1398.
1396. In his will, John I attempted to make Valldaura a Carthusian monastery.
1396. King Martin the Elder spent long periods in Valldaura and made major extensions to the palace, but from 1406 on built another palace, Bellesguard, where he died in 1410.
1410. Ferdinand I (1413-1416) and Alfonso V (1416-1458) of the house of Castile paid little attention to Valldaura. Peter IV of Portugal, grandson of James II, Count of Urgell (the loser in the Compromise of Caspe), enthroned by the Generalitat during the War of the Remences (1464-1466), ceded more land to Valldaura.
1475. John II (1458-1479) gave Valldaura to Fernando Girón de Rebolledo, viceroy of Cerdanyola from 1508 to 1514.
1517. A claim by Monsignor Perot Miquel results in the Valldaura house being awarded to the priest and Dr. Joan Pasqual, in respective shares of one third and two thirds.
1549. The Barcelona notary Joan Llorenç Calça, who had inherited from his uncle the lawyer Joan Pasqual, passes the Valldaura estate to his son Francesc Calça on his wedding with Anna d’Ager.
1549-1601. Valldaura is owned by Francesc Calça, professor at the University of Barcelona, poet, administrator of the Drassanes royal shipyards and Councillor in Chief of the Consell de Cent (1582), who wrote the first history of Catalonia (1570-1586) and died a priest.
1553. In the census of the provinces and possessions of the Crown of Castile, Valldaura is listed as an independent entity consisting of three ‘homes’.

The Hospital of Sant Pau i la Santa Creu, at that time located in carrer Hospital in Barcelona, receives the property in inheritance and administers it until the Ecclesiastical Confiscations of Mendizábal (ca. 1720). In the Catalan population statistics, Valldaura is listed as a district, with 3 homes and 13 residents, in the first decade of the 18th century.

1836. In the Ecclesiastical Confiscations of Mendizábal the Church lost most of its properties; Valldaura was probably divided up and sold, and became part of the municipality of Cerdanyola. The present-day division and the boundary stones in the northern part of the property are almost certainly from this time.

For my final project to make a microenviroment for plants that you could use all around the world, both inside and outside, the system should be capible to run in any tempeture. The system should be programmeble for any type of vegetation. The system should be able to check the mosture level around the plants an modify it depending on the plants need, it should be able to check the ph- level in your soil and let you know if its too hi or low, it should have a automated feed system both from the top soil and "bottom feeeder" should feed the from the bottom, it shuold have a soil mosture meter, and somekind of soil heater or regulator, it should keep track of the whole process and let you know with either alarms or message in your smartphone. I want the system to be both plug in ready with a cord and to be able to run on solarcells, if the system would have a little windmill to generate just eneugh power for the main systems for the days that the sun is blocket out, it should work both with sunpower and also have somekind of plug in for led lights for the inside growing. I want the system be build egg shaped and be called the craddle, it should have two holes in eater side with fans to control the mosture and the temp.
