A City Built Out of "Pebbles"
Vincent Callebaut, a Belgian architect, is recognized for his ideas that are inspired by natural shapes, such as floating lotus-shaped towns. He exhibited the vertical city of Shenzhen in China, which was built in the shape of cairns, or stone pyramids, this time.
The architect explains, "The objective is to create a pleasant urban environment with a zero carbon impact and positive energy."
The city is expected to follow jungle rules, be high-density, and have gardens and vegetable gardens nestled directly into the residential towers in this project. Each tower has 20 glass "pebbles" with solar panels and wind turbines embedded in them.
