The latest conceptual project from architecture firmRescubikaenvisions a soaring green residential tower on New York Citys Roosevelt Island.
The building pushes the limit of current sustainability practices and reimagines modern living in a dense urban future.
Dramatic renderings of the tower visualize an undulating form made possible by parametric design.
Narratives like that of Mandragores form are increasingly common in sustainable architecture.
It is an example ofbiomimicrythe mimicking or abstracting of natural processes or forms found in nature.
Biomimicry is often used for quantifiable sustainability goals, learning important lessons from the efficiencies of plants and animals.
In this case, biomimicry is used for a deeper conceptual meaning.
So how do we achieve a carbon sink?
This project thinks outside the box of sustainable architecture.
Programmatic responses aligned with this mission include home offices designed to encourage ditching the commute and working from home.
