Paris Smart City: depolluting buildings in the capital by 2050?
2050 Paris Smart City is a project designed by Vincent Callebaut Architectures; it is aimed at building futuristic and vegetated high-rise buildings in the French capital in order to reduce 75% of the greenhouse gas emissions of the city within 2050. Still in development, these researches include eight buildings that would recycle their own energy. Three projects have been designed for three different districts of Paris. The first one proposes to build some “Mountain Towers” in the first district of Paris, i.e. some solar, hydrodynamic and planted towers using bio-air conditioning. The second project concerns the 14th district, where “Antismog Towers” would form an ecologic corridor of 23 km, punctuated by depolluting photo-catalytic towers. Finally, the last project, involving the 15th district, would in fact be a huge complex called “Photosynthesis Towers”: buildings shaped as vertical spirals with organic facades of green algae. Their balconies would be used as orchards or thermodynamic vegetable gardens. This amazing and particularly innovating program gives us a glimpse of what the city of tomorrow will perhaps look like.
