Gordon Graff of the University of Waterloo, Ontario, designed the Skyfarm to appeal to green-minded Canadians who want to see cities taking action. His 59-story building is covered in vegetation: a hydroponic farm that would produce about 50 percent of its own needed power with an on-site biogas plant burning farm waste. The other half of the needed energy could come from city waste, according to Graff.
We've all seen vertical farm concepts, but this one takes the idea where it's never been: the ocean. Could the ocean be the future site of vertical farming?
Earth-friendly design and clean energy drive this concept for an innovative bridge in Italy which may be able to provide clean power for up to 15,000 homes.
