Middle of the financial buildings and residential towers of Belgian architect Vincent Kalleba (Vincent Callebaut) intends to build an alternative skyscraper. His 132-storey complex will be built in the south of Roosevelt Island (Roosevelt Island), symbolizing the need for environmental sustainability. The main focus of the conceptual design - an attempt to create a completely self-sufficient organism that is recycling solar, wind, water, and can produce food, in the midst of a megacity.



The system is concentrated around the two main towers. They are symmetrically arranged, grown not only horizontally but also vertically, that is important to close Manhattan.



Metal and glass wings, inspired by the dragon to become home to plants and animals. Thanks to favorable natural conditions, a good solar and wind, at multiple levels, which will be made available soil nutrients, plants will be grown. External vertical gardens are fed by rainwater, which after use will be mixed with household waste, after exposed to organic processing, for use on farms.



In the space between the wings is going to warm the air through which the room will be heated in winter, summer, natural ventilation, as well as evaporation from the plant will cool the air.

Coconut Crab (Birgus latro) is the largest terrestrial arthropod in the world. It is known for its ability to crack coconuts with its strong pincers in order to eat the contents.

It is sometimes called the robber crab because some coconut crabs are rumored to steal shiny items such as pots and silverware from houses and tents.

The coconut crab is a large edible land crab related to the hermit crab, and are found in the tropical Indian and Pacific Oceans. They eat coconuts for a living! How would you like to be on an island and come across a crab that is more than 3 feet from head to tail and weighs up to 40 pounds, with a pair of large pincers strong enough to open coconuts! They can climb trees too, but they only eat coconuts that have already fallen to the ground. Coconut crab meat has been considered a local delicacy.

They are sold as pets in markets like Tokyo, but I find it hard to believe people would want such a creature in their houses. It’s not only their appearance and size, but also their strength. If you’re not careful, a Coconut Crab could easily crush one of your limbs. Just think, if it can crush a coconut, what could it do to your arm.
