The sustainable development has already become one of the main themes all around the world. More and more people have started to change their lifestyles for us and even for our sons. To meet the requirements of sustainable development, we should construct more eco-friendly buildings and encourage eco-industry.
Following 12 giant environment-friendly architectural designs may inspire you.
De-Centralized Sustainable Society
This architectural design is not only for creating a building or a city, but also a total redefinition of the whole society. The designers from CTRLZ architectures state that “We believe that architecture is not anymore about form and…function, but that it is about relations. The development of network systems shows us that the power resides in links and connections.”
Commerce, food production, ornamental gardens, housing, social public spaces and energy collection are all combined with a way of emphasizing the cooperation of residents.
Subterranean Greenbelt Hotel
The subterranean design of Hersham Golf Club in Surrey by ReardonSmith Architects contains five-star lodging as well as a spa and golf facilities. To avoiding unnecessary exploitation of the Earth, the UK has established a green belt. This subterranean design meets the requirements of urban development.
Besides, this kind of design also can reduce the influence on traffic flow.
The hotel positions above-ground buildings in existing woodland so that nearby local residents maintain an unobstructed view of untouched landscape.
Beijing’s "Creative Zone" Greenbelt
As a fast-developing metropolis, Beijing is suffering from the threat of air pollution, which calls for the creative green belt to alleviate this dilemma, in order to provide natural space for residents and prevent excessive exploitation.
UNStudio Architects won a competition to create this “creative zone”, which would become a showcase of experimental architecture.
This green belt provides locals opportunities to connect with nature while maintaining proximity to local conveniences like shops, restaurants and public transportation.
Masdar Sustainable City
Could Masdar City is a concept of future modern metropolis. Every street, every shop, even every street lamp are sustainable. Designed by LAVA and located in Abu Dhabi, Masdar City is a planned community built to be zero-waste and zero-carbon. This design could be a vision of the future.
With housing, commerce and recreation all situated around a vast plaza, this concept aims to be a model of sustainability for the rest of the world.
Giant Energy-Generating Waterfall for Rio Olympics
Solar City Tower, designed by RAFAA Architecture & Design for the 2016 Rio Olympics, can utilize solar power to generate electricity in the day time and a pumped water storage system to create power after the sun goes down.
Its most remarkable point is the huge waterfall, which seems to come from the sky, just as “a symbol for the forces of nature”.
The tower could provide plenty of electricity for the Olympic Games and for the city. The magnificent waterfall only appears on special occasions.
Mixed-Use EcoDistrict in Dijon
Imagine living in a diverse neighborhood packed with green features galore, from vertical gardens and green roofs to bicycle paths and eco-friendly playgrounds – all adjacent to the city center.
Such “ecodistricts” are in planning around the world, including this concept for Dijon, France by EXP Architects in cooperation with Studiomustard Architecture, Sempervirens Landscape Designers and Even Conseil. The design will serve as a model for similar future developments in the same city.
