Eco Structures

Here is some cool concept art for eco friendly structures. I wish we lived in a world with theses kinds of buildings


This Luxor-esque Pyramid Farm uses a heating and pressurization system to separate sewage into water and carbon which will fuel both the machinery and lighting. It would use only 10-percent of the water and 5-percent of the land needed by conventional farms.


The "Lilly Pad" concept is a floating "Ecopolis" that can accommodate up to 50,000 climate refugees.


This stackable skyscraper concept designed by Jorge Hernandez de la Garza is eco-Tetris for the ever-growing Mexico City. The Vertical Park has sky gardens, space for both public and private use, and it recycles all of its own water.


The Dragonfly is a 128-floor vertical farm concept that will definitely get locavores drooling. Conceived by Vincent Callebaut Architectures, the building supports housing, offices, laboratories and and twenty-eight different agricultural fields. It completely sustains itself using solar-power, wind-power, and captured rain water.
