In 2030, the Hrvest Green Tower, the skyscraper with the vertical farm, will be built in Vancouver
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himon urban gardens we have already extensively documented you on roof gardens well, but the last frontier for those who would like to live in the countryside, and must be content with a few tens of square meters in the city, is the vertical farm.
Vegetables, herbs, fruit, fish, eggs, but also chickens and a sheep boutique from which to draw for good fresh goat milk. The whole concentrated in a single and futuristic skyscraper powered, obviously, by renewable energies that exploit geothermal, wind and solar energy at the same time. This is not Bruce Sterling's latest book, but theHarvest Green Tower, the winner of Vancouver's Challenge 2030 “, the competition dedicated to the best projects for addressing climate change e reduce carbon emissions in the next future.
The Harvest Green Tower was developed, for the moment only on paper, by the architects of the Romses studio who designed the "vertical farm" down to the smallest detail, complete with photovoltaic glass e wind turbines integrated into the structure. But not only. If this were not enough to produce energy, that generated by the methane from composting of inedible parts of plants and animals. Irrigation for the numerous indoor and outdoor crops is guaranteed by one large cistern that collects rainwater.
In short, a totally self-sufficient and zero-impact building, a skyscraper that allows you to come into contact with nature and study animals and plants without leaving the city. The Harvest Green Tower will be a reality in the Canadian city, as per competition, starting in 2030.
