Seoul Loop is a timber-clad spiral that provides a massive space for photosynthesis.

The architect has placed Seoul Loop in the city’s Huam-Dong area.

The neighborhood has a high concentration of low-rise buildings and little space for greenery.

But thanks to this concept, plants could thrive and both natural and artificial photosynthesis would combat carbon emissions.

In this structure, which floats above the city, artificial photosynthesis panels are placed on the roof.

The oxygen generated would be supplied to the city and other byproducts, like hydrogen, could be stored.

Inside the building, large planters will allow for the growth and cultivation of crops.

In this way, natural and artificial photosynthesis will work in harmony.

These buildings will allow the public to interact with nature and participate in the life cycle of these plants.

There are also plans for a large outdoor nature park.

The spiral structure rises above the city and acts as a space for artificial and natural photosynthesis.

The interior of the spiral will be filled with crops and plants that provide much-needed oxygen.

Artificial photosynthesis panels on the roof will release oxygen into the city and collect byproducts like hydrogen.
