When searching the internet i came across this design on 'Conceptualist' designed by MVRDV based in Rotterdam, Holland. the company won a competion to redign Gwanggyo City Centre in South Korea with this amazing design consisting of a series of overgrown, hill like structures.
Via Contemporist: "To facilitate this all elements are designed as rings. By pushing these rings outwards, every part of the program receives a terrace for outdoor life. Plantations around the terraces with a floor to floor circulation system store water and irrigate the plants. The roofs of these hills and the terraces are planted with box hedges creating a strong, recognizable, cohesive park. This vertical park will improve the climate and ventilation, reduce energy and water usage. As a result a series of overgrown green ‘hills’ appear in the landscape."
I would be interested to find out if this would/could ever work.
