A Columbia professor believes that converting skyscrapers into crop farms could help reduce global warming and make New York cleaner. It’s a vision straight out of Futurama—but here’s how it might work. NY Mag
Nice article, but the verticle farm idea has been floating around for 6 years - the article even concedes that point. We just need to build one of these things and stop speculating!
the sexy renderings are the only new part of packaging the concept...
The nice renderings might help encourage more students to think that this is a cool direction to go in architecture. That would be something! To see my Alma Mater turn into a major hub for desirable and sexy anti global warming strategies via particle systems and nanotechnology. Nice! : )
