«Archi100G» - the manifesto of ecological architecture.
The tower occupies one of specific points of a coastal line of lake. Being the first along the line to the basic street, the object focuses attention on an enter of the "City". Prevalence of a vertical in a composition (the basis 3500х3500, height ±5000) answers function and an image of "beacon". The tower is located on open space, and its numerous windows on the facades twirled on 90 degrees, provide the wide review from within: the lake, opposite coast, snow tops of mountains etc. On building of "Arhi100G" it was required 100 pressed straw blocks (350х450х1000 mm), ±70м a binding wire, a lot of a lake stone for the base and a necessary minimum of wooden things. Building of the Tower of "Arhi100G" became the excellent test for straw blocks as for a non-polluting building material.
