1000 square foot units hang from tensegrity towers, their roofs used for agriculture, their waste used to water lower level farms, and their waste in turn converted to biofuel to run the whole works. That is the winning proposal in the HP Skyline 2020 competition, open only to Indian citizens, as proposed by Anto Gloren, Sayali Athale and Pune. The jury wrote of their entry,New image of future cities with high density but loose clustering. Very sociable and humane living. Circulation needs clarification. This seems the ideal direction for changing the skyline, not visual but really culturally and ecologically sustainable. Variable elevations of different clusters promise also a future visual delight. Vary attainable proposal without demand on high technology. Here is a winner!I don't see the tensegrity masts, I see conventional 2x4s rectangular struts in their rendering, but maybe there are other renderings not published online. As we noted in past posts, for example in reference to bridges, it is not clear that a tensegrity mast would be the cheapest most efficient way to support such an overlapping complex of parallel planes, but i would sure like to see someone build it.
