Giant J-Shaped Architecture

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Green 'City-Park' Tower Spreads On and Over the Hudson

— March 6, 2009 — Eco
Skyscraper is making amends and aiming at a strong comeback right in the original tower capital of the world, New York City. The magnificent 'City-Park' concept will rise to airy heights and expand to new lengths, introducing not simply an imposing building construction but rather a far-reaching urban transformation.

The massive J-shaped structure features clustered units of living space blended with extensive facilities and interior botany gardens. Complementing the eminent skyline of the Big Apple, the curvy concept boasts transparent blob-like patterns and sits on an impressive river-level veranda, an ideal area for social activities. Last but not least, this high-rise sculpt delivers a slender super-extensive pedestrian lane over Hudson River, elegantly linking Hudson Park and Central Park.

Designed by Meryem Ozturkoglu out of a tree formation, the captivating concept presents a bold urban statement on sustainability, while maintaining its association with the daunting image and eco-friendly future of the City. Needless to say, I will be setting up my own blob as soon as a two-bedroom one becomes available.
Trend Themes
1. Green Architecture - The J-shaped architecture incorporates extensive botany gardens, demonstrating the trend of integrating green spaces into building design.
2. Urban Transformation - The 'City-Park' concept represents a bold urban transformation, showcasing the trend of creating entire ecosystems within a single building structure.
3. Sustainable Skyscrapers - The J-shaped structure emphasizes sustainability and eco-friendliness, highlighting the trend of designing environmentally conscious high-rise buildings.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Architects can explore innovative ways to incorporate green spaces and sustainable features into their designs, inspired by the J-shaped 'City-Park' concept.
2. Urban Planning - Urban planners can consider the concept of creating integrated ecosystems within buildings to maximize green spaces and enhance urban environments.
3. Real Estate - Real estate developers can capitalize on the trend of sustainable skyscrapers by incorporating eco-friendly features and promoting green living in their projects.
