Green skyscrapers?



Wow, what a good set of iddeas. I wonder whether this could also help us to think about retrofitting tower bloks. I particularly like this "The organic spaces are intended also to ramp up from the street level to the top of the building, effectively integrating the sky-scraper’s 26 stories into the surface landscape. This extension of the horizontal plane into the vertical space is further promoted by drawing the street-level shops and pedestrian activities up to the sixth floor along the system of landscaped ramps."

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
