This Green Sustainable building (otherwise known as the GSB) is a communal building designed for the near future. Positioned to fit the existing city grid, its cylindrical shape, and vertical height allows the maximum implement of renewable energy and sustainable resources.
Solar Panels provide maximum renewable energy source for the building.
This green self sustainable building is designed to implement passive cooling. Constructed with a steel structure and panels of glass, this building allows maximum sunlight for the aeroponic and hydroponic systems on site.
Demonstration of how water is recycled from the hydroponic and aeroponic system. After the usage for plants on the higher levels, water is collected, place through filters, and reused in the fresh water aquarium. Any water distributed from the tank would be filtered and reused in order to minimize water waste.
