Well for starters, the earth only adds 100,000,000 people every year on average. Therefore we need more food. we also need to invest into the future for our people, this is of of those things if we don't invest now, we will be dealing with it later. Another thing is that while natural food growing is nutritiously better, it's better that every one gets food then a few people who can afford organic food get food. And if you ask me, cities need more plants, so the air will be cleaner, and people will be happier. It also make people jobs if we build more things like this, we really need jobs here, my father has been a Union Construction supervisor, and he had lost his job thank to the economic recession were in right now. If we build more buildings like this, there will be more jobs in the short term and in the long term! So if you ask me, this building, and other buildings like it will help The Environment, City pride, and the most important; our economy!!!!!!!! :) Well Dustin, you are wondering why we need this?

Now, as to clashing with the skyline- personally, I don't even /like/ New York's skyline. On the other hand, it actually looks pretty cool- out of place, but cool, and I don't think there will be huge complaints from the populace, and if there are, too bad for them. Vertical farms are a reasonable solution to a problem. How many people here /actually/ are architects? Callebaut actually is. But it doesn't matter to the endless nearly-illiterate website critics. They simply enjoy putting other people down. Biomimicry has the potential to an excellent way to design buildings. Keep in mind that nature has been creating structures for millions of years. It isn't perfect, but it's good. The reason it has plants growing out of it is because it’s a /farm/.

However,how can it be ecological in any way?? In order this huge structure to be build nature is actually being destroyed and what we do is just replacing it.Cutting thousands of trees so as to plant the vertically??? And that's what we call ecology nowadays! The building is definitely awsome!!! However,how can it be ecological in any way??
