greenhouse & integrated system benefits everybody – sustainability & the greenifying of cities&towns should be fundamentaly part of any future planning & ‘developments’
… I am curious what shallowrooted trees & shrubs would be planted/recommended??? Let us all know plse

Excellent, simple and well thought out.
Veg patches up top would add to the general brilliance

This just about complete my image of cities as islands on a sea of tarmac. Resolve that first please. Why do architects always think that our cities are in dire need of correcting? Perhaps it would be more effective to cast their attention to the regions with urgent and real humanitarian need?
Ok, off with my soap-box … then please please build it so that we can once and for all applaud or put it to bed? I fear this would be a live-long ambition rather then an overnight quick-fix.

The roof garden is still too optimistic. Iwould rather think that it will be a very epensive ‘garden’ to harvest a tomato from. ;-) Yet so far so interesting. I rather suggest to pipeline the building with region’s glass houses…

This is a fantastically well thought out design…great sustainability features combined with nice aesthetics. A rooftop forest is a fantastic idea and a place I would love to wander through. Incorporating farms would also have been great.

Paul de Ruiter,sir, you are obviously in touch with the harmonies of nature and a good sense of architectural need. May we house those who need in a sensible structure, and heed the necessity of sustainability in our lives. Peace, Ed Hines

I think, as part of any sustainable development from hereon in, designers should incorporate community farms and gardens, which would allow people to be self-sufficient to an extent.
