The Revolutionary Skyscraper Is Designed To Feed A Village
The winning architects of eVolo Magazine's 2017 Skyscraper Competition have a surprising plan to improve agriculture in Africa.
Amidst the green revolution taking place in the United States and other developed countries, it's easy to forget that many third world countries are seemingly stuck in another age. Unfortunately, time-honored ways of life may not be able to withstand the heat and extreme weather brought on by climate change.
In this context, many Africans are subject to sweeping drought, desertification, and famine. Most Africans live in poverty, earning less than $2USD/day through "subsistence farming". However, advances in green technology and design may be able to help lift this burden.
Out of 444 contest entries, winner of 2017 Skyscraper Competition by eVolo Magazine was presented to Polish design team, Pawel Lipi?ski and Mateusz Frankowski, for their project, the "Mashambas Skyscraper". The design intends to introduce sustainable, efficient food production methods to impoverished African communities.
As described by the architects, "The design proposes a modular and scalable skyscraper conceived as an educational center and marketplace for new agricultural communities in sub-Saharan Africa. The design seeks to increase farming opportunities and reduce hunger in these regions."
