From a vertical garden in Singapore or a bamboo arch in Indonesia to a 3D-printed house in Italy or giant timber 'mushrooms' in Spain, these carbon-neutral structures and prototypes have great design—visually and environmentally.
Populus, set to open in spring 2024 in downtown Denver, aims to be the United States' first climate-positive hotel by using sustainable materials in the construction process and planting more than 700,000 trees offsite. Its stylish, triangular shape takes inspiration from the aspen tree, often associated with Colorado; its sculptural white facade is covered in windows that mimic the eye-shaped marks on tree trunks.
In a case of dreams becoming reality, this house in Ravenna is the product of 3D printers. Tecla, a combination of"technology" and"clay," is a prototype of eco-friendly emergency housing. Made of locally sourced clay and mainly biodegradable materials, the dome-shaped shell ensures the house's stability, blocks outdoor heat and allows daylight to flow from wall to wall.
