This
Eco-Skyscraper is an example of robust Architecture for not just sustaining but
surviving the climate change. For survival we need three things, Food, water
and shelter. For food, this building has continuous Vertical spiral Farms
enveloping the building. Using Hydroponics it produces food with minimum land
and water requirement. Water is generated from the humidity taking the
advantage of spiral; the wind has maximum surface area of contact. Wind loses
the humidity on the façade with the special treatment. This is used then for drinking
purposes. The shelter has mixed use of functions to achieve self-sufficiency. Various
passive and direct energy methods are used to achieve zero carbon footprint
building. The building is placed in a context of well connectivity with public
transport. It recycles all its waste and use the organic waste as manure for
the farming and produces net zero waste. The idea was to envision a skyscraper
as a part of City where, most of the land is available for affordable
residential and open greens. Rest all functions can stack-up and form a
Skyscraper.
