We feel that we’re a fairly adventurous group, but every now and then we come across a project whose sheer braggadocio and outlandishness defies all commentary.

From Inhabitat:

Costanera Sur is a proposal for a vertical zoo in Buenos Aires that transforms a pile of rubble into a towering pillar of falling water. Designed by Visiondivision, the project aims to reclaim debris left over from the construction of Buenos Aires’ decades-old highways, is entirely self-sufficient, and could theoretically provide water and energy to surrounding structures.

A towering pillar of falling water? Animals running wild in a diagrid water-purifier skyscraper? We don’t know where to begin. Maybe our readers can help us with this one. Watch out Lion!

Ned spends most of his time wondering how our world can better support the lives within it. Musings fit for print end up here. He hopes you enjoy them.

  2. wonderful concept…..but the location needs to be defined as it may be situated below an existing waterfall. or a stream diverted to get the water to save energy.

Buildings + Germs

... architecture and more specially buildings, are rather poor opponents against pandemics. Urban planning seems to have a shot, but buildings - their scale, their materials, their systems, are weak at best and more likely a fool's errand; wasting time, effort and money to combat a foe they cannot defeat at exactly a time when resources are slim.
