An architectural solution for pollution

How can architects and designers help reduce pollution and improve human health?
Well there are many ways by which an architect can reduce pollution, that is mainly through his design.
Here is one of the example of the future project of delhi and how it can be a solution for our future
survival.

Paris-based Vincent Callebaut Architectures in collaboration with the Indian agroecologist Amlankusum
unveiled the design of 'Hyperions', the new Agritectural Garden Towers for Jaypee Greens Sports City
in New Delhi, India. The design is for a self-sustaining urban utopia that not only grows organic food,
but also produces more energy than it consumes in a closed-loop system.

Conceived with the double objective of energy decentralization and food deindustrialization, this
garden towers project is very holistic, combining the best of low-tech and high-tech instead of
systematically opposing them. The designers aim is to reconcile urban renaturation and small-scale
farming with environment protection and biodiversity.

The Hyperions, named after the tallest tree in the world 'the hyperion' - a sequoia semperviren found
in northern California (whose size can reach 115.55 metres,close to 380 feet), comprises six 36-story
connected towers built from cross-laminated timber, providing the best environmental footprint during
its life cycle—from harvesting to recycling, through transportation, processing, implementation,
maintenance, and reuse.

All the wood required to build the garden towers sourced from a Delhi forest, which is also managed
sustainably, and in which they make sure to renew what they collect with respect for the appropriate
cutting cycle and regenerating capacity. With its 68 million hectares of forest covering 23% of its
territory, India is one of the ten most wooded countries on Earth, and the world's second producer of
fruits and vegetables. Trapped as the citizens are in the New Delhi smog, their duty is to preserve
those carbon-sequestrating forests now more than ever. Indeed, one cubic meter (c. 35 cubic feet) of
wood can stock up to 0.9 ton of CO2 while a tree grows.
