Green mega structures of the future
With the possibility of water shortages, desertification, and the necessity of finding alternative fuel sources on the horizon, humanity’s booming numbers may need some big solutions to survive and thrive in the future. A number of architects are already planning (and in some cases, already building) for the a future of greener living.
The “Lady Landfill Skyscraper” is designed to collect the massive amounts of garbage in the Pacific Ocean on its bottom level, recycle it in the middle, then use the energy created by the garbage’s gas to power the living space above the water level. (By the way, has anyone ever noticed how no one childproofs these structures?)
The Hydra Tower is designed to harvest the energy of lightening to create hydrogen fuel and is constructed from grapheme, which is 200 times tougher than steel, to withstand the blows of this all natural energy source.
This 3100-unit apartment complex is already under construction in Vietnam and also offers residents retail and public spaces to enjoy. The design maximizes daylight and natural ventilation.
