Alternative skyscraper in New York

In the middle of financial buildings and inhabited towers the Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut is intended to erect an alternative skyscraper. 132 floor complex will be constructed in the south of Roosevelt Island, symbolising necessity of ecological stability. The main accent of this conceptual design — attempt to create completely a self-sufficient organism which processes energy of the sun, wind, water, and also can make food, in the middle of a megacity.

Alternative skyscrapers of the future

The system is concentrated round two basic towers. They are organised symmetrically, grow not only is horizontal, but also vertically, that is important for close Manhattan.

Conceptual skyscraper in Manhattan

The metal and glass wings inspired in the image of a dragon, become the house for plants and animals. Thanks to a favorable environment, the good sun and winds, at numerous levels where nutritious soils will be placed, plants will be grown up. External vertical gardens will eat rain water which after use will be mixed with a household waste, after subject to organic processing, for further use in a farm.

In space between wings warm air with which help the premise will be heated in the winter gathers; in the summer natural ventilation, and also evaporations from plants will cool air.
