Niu Shu: A Sustainable Skyscraper by Francis Wilmore, Courtney Brinegar amd Jennifer Cramer

Created to fit Hongkong’s current and future growth, the Niu Shu is another eco-friendly skyscraper design that got a special mention during the 2009 skyscraper competition. The building has a twisting form in order to allow and block light to the different crops and products that are being produced in the area. Residents of the tower will have a chance to either passively educated by their surroundings or actively engaged in the farming and food processing activity to subsidize their cost of living my selling their product in market carrying the Niu Shu branding. The building designers of the Niu Shu are hoping to encourage a more culturally, formally and environmentally alive urban fabric.
