EVOLO: Tower Competition

One of the main goals of the project is to embody the connection of people with nature by contributing to the principle of Sustainable City Development through green infrastructure. The green park will function as a ‘Vertical City Lung’ which will be provided with public green spaces for the city inhabitant uses daily.

The functional purpose of this vertical green park can be greater biodiversity. The spreading green spaces contribute to the creation of a new layer of urban biodiversity. The presence of this new layer with plants that create habitat and food for species has a direct impact on the generation of wildlife corridors, which are essential for improving the quality of life and well-being in cities nowadays.

Series of Typha leaves grow naturally saw the hierarchy of growth of the plant. Likewise, human grows and at every stage of life requires a different environment and expect new experiences. Using the lightweight cantilevered structures, arranged in a loop, users can ascend through low inclined ramps. At every level users can experience different theme gardens, breathe in the fragrance of various flower species, listen to the beautiful sound of birds and in no time will reach the top most level.

The vertical green park was created for the whole family and community. It can be a playground for the children, as a meeting place for the youngsters and elders or as a knowledge-seeking centre of nature for everyone.

On a global aspect, the vertical park supports and contributes to the creation of a new layer of urban biodiversity. The presence of this new layer with plants that create habitat and food for species has a direct impact on the generation of wildlife corridors which are essential for improving the quality of life and well-being in today’s cities.
