The stunning piece of green building architecture you’re looking at here is called the Rainbow Tree Residential Tower, and its architect claims that, once (if?) built, the 377-foot timber tower would bring more than 30,000 new plants, shrubs, and trees to the skyline of Cebu, Philippines.
The architectural community is awakening to the need to dramatically lower the carbon emissions associated with the buildings it designs. Radical new ideas are bubbling up throughout the profession.
Desperate times call for innovative measures when it comes to architecture and sustainability. Here we’ve showcased four projects that have overcome the odds to be sustainable, either in a novel way or in spite of a challenging environment.
