eVolo | 08 Skyscraper Competition.
Skyscrapers started to emerge in cities like Chicago and New York towards the end of 19th Century. Over a century has passed, and the skyscrapers become the norm for the big city centers throughout the world. Although the skyscraper itself is truly an achievement of modern technology and vision, the urban space that is created by the collection of these seems to be fragmented, limited, and very unkind to nature. The project takes place in this urban context, investigating the way to reunite the isolated city blocks and insert a multi-layered network of public space, green space, and nodes for the city. The main structure of this facility consists of two components. The first is the core, which acts as a spine for the units to be plugged into, and the second is the interlocking structure which distributes the overall load of the tower to the surface, slab, and the main structure of the existing skyscraper. This unit is designed to incorporate four wind turbines which convert the kinetic energy of the wind that flows through the skyscrapers into electrical energy. Vertical-axis wind turbine among the various types of wind turbine is chosen due to its flexibility in locating the generator and the efficiency in utilizing the wind energy from both windward and leeward sides. The vertical garden unit is an open structure which provides a habitat for plants, insects, and animals, which also becomes a public park for cities where natural spaces are limited. This unit is combined and multiplied throughout the towers in order to achieve positive effects, such as reducing the urban heat and filter pollutants from the air. The sky dock unit is the node where the network between the towers and the existing skyscrapers takes place. The bridge connects the nodes to create a city where activity, movement, and events occur in multiple layers rather than just on the ground level and inside the skyscrapers. The program unit is an enclosed space which accommodates multiple functions such as café, meeting room, observatory, museum, information center, retail, game room, restrooms, media library, etc. The program will be determined according to the location and the users of the units.

Lightwall Cirie, Turin, Italy ecoLogicStudio The concept of lightwall reinterpret the traditional massive Italian wall as a thick solid sponge, whose ability to absorb and filter heat, light and view can be changed and adapted to contextual requirements. In a large villa conversion project sun, light and privacy conditions where mapped on the site and a wall solution of pre-cast concrete insulated and custom designed blocks was chosen as preferred; using parametric modeling tools, (Bentley Generative Components developed by Bentley and the Smart Geometry group) eLS designed a system of spiraling cavities to selectively manipulate the filtering potentials of the wall/sponge. The ability to control, as a single connected system, both the geometry of the holes and the overall wall/sponge behavior in relationship to the contexts environmental pressures, allowed design to emerge as an iterative process. Optimization resulted into a higher degree of differentiation and architectural richness. Where the pores open the view over the outside green landscape seams uninterrupted, yet the wall is retaining 70% of its original mass.

Plante & Cité est une plateforme nationale d'expérimentations et de conseils techniques à destination des services espaces verts des collectivités territoriales et des entreprises du paysage. Née du constat d'un besoin d'expérimentations et de mutualisation des techniques du développement durable de gestion des espaces verts, l'association, à but non lucratif, a été initié en 2006, à Angers, par l'initiative de représentants d'établissement de recherche et d'enseignement supérieur (dont l'Institut National d'Horticulture et l'Institut National de Recherche Agronomique), de services des collectivités et d'entreprises. Le projet Plante & Cité est labellisé « projet » du pôle de compétitivité du « Végétal spécialisé Anjou-Loire », Végépolys.

Worrell Water Technologies - Living Machine® systems.
![]()
Living Machine® systems are decentralized wastewater treatment systems that mimic processes found in wetland environments. Our patented technology uses mechanical and computer systems to enhance natural biological processes to treat wastewater. Living Machine systems provide a more natural approach to wastewater treatment for communities, industries, academic institutions and government agencies. Using less energy than other onsite wastewater treatment systems, Living Machine systems provide tertiary treatment, allowing the water to be reused for numerous applications including irrigation, toilet flushing and wash water. Living Machine systems are frequently integrated into larger water reuse systems to increase water conservation, minimize wastewater surcharges and meet operational requirements.
