Do The Green Thing: Stackable Solar Skyscraper

Posted by andyh on 09 June 2009 | View all posts | Previous | Next

Pretty cool design for a space-saving, solar-powered vertical park in smog-filled Mexico City.

As well as being powered by renewable energy the idea is it recycles its own water too. And all made out of stackable modules like some giant eco lego kit. Or something. Nice.

Wow! Green building is always so great to look at, 1000 x better than the concrete lumps we are currently building! Check out the amazing tree houses at www.weburbanist.com
