Babel 2015: The Revolution in Architecture
What are the physical limitations in the conquest of vertical space? Can the organic structures of nature offer insights into tall building construction? And is "skyscraper" even an appropriate term for architectural wonders intended to be vertical self-contained cities? This program explores a vision of tomorrow’s highest buildings through the example of the Bionic Tower, a 300-story structure to be built in China that will utilize bionic architecture. As an alternative to urban sprawl, the Tower is projected to house 100,000 people while taking up only a single square kilometer of ground space.
