3 Global Developments That Pave The Way For A Greener Future

We have chosen our favourite 3 projects to watch for that address these areas of change and will shape the way of the future. These are examples that inspire us to build our spaces for tomorrow.

1. 1000 Trees Shanghai – Designed by Heatherwick Studio this project is seen as a piece of topography. Taking the form of 2 tree covered mountains, 1000 trees is populated by hundreds of structural columns there are large planters each holding clusters of trees. This initiate will help combat the air pollution and clean air initiatives by producing oxygen and drawing in carbon dioxide and air pollution making it a healthy environment for occupants.
2. Smart Forest City in Cancun – Designed by Italian architect Stefano Boeri, this smart forest is intended to be built on 557 hectares and will contain 7.5 million plants. It is set to be a a “pioneer” of more eco-efficient developments and a green print to build more cities like this around the world.
3. Multimodal Ülemiste train terminal in Tallinn Estonia – this is a sustainable and pedestrian-friendly modular development which will form part of the Rail Baltica high-speed rail network. The design will integrate skylights, natural ventilation, and roof-mounted solar panels to minimise the station’s energy usage.

We are excited about being a part of new projects and global initiatives that will pave the way for a new world.

“You cannot simply put something new into a place. You have to absorb what you see around you, what exists on the land, and then use that knowledge along with contemporary thinking to interpret what you see.” – Tadao Ando
