'Logistic City' from JDS Architects is one of the most interesting skyscraper concepts that I have seen in some time. This building would stand over 3,600 feet tall and be home to lush gardens and vegetation.
That's right, instead of being a place to live and shop, Logistic City will be a symbol of green for the city of Shenzhen, China. The building will have wind turbines to help gather and disperse energy, as well as water collecting systems.
Check out the gallery to see what the inside and outside of Logistic City would look like. If you can dream it, you can do it.

Trend Themes
1. Vertical Greenery - Opportunity for architects and builders to design and construct buildings with integrated vertical gardens and forests.
2. Sustainable Skyscrapers - Opportunity for designers and engineers to create tall buildings that prioritize sustainability and are designed to harness renewable energy sources.
3. Green Cityscapes - Opportunity for urban planners and landscape architects to prioritize green spaces and incorporate them in the design and development of cities.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture and Construction - An industry that can create a new field altogether centered around vertical gardens and skyscrapers that incorporate sustainable energy sources.
2. Renewable Energy - An industry that could provide innovative solutions for harvesting renewable energy in high-rise buildings and skyscrapers that prioritize sustainability.
3. Urban Planning and Landscape Architecture - An industry that can prioritize green spaces and incorporate them in the design and development of cities, similar to the concept of building forest skyscrapers.
