Urban energy
Not everybody can or choose to live in an isolated self sufficient house...And cities can in fact be a good thing for the environment as they shelter humans on greater density, sparing some land for natural ecosystem. P O S I T I V A R C H I wants to show that cities can work with nature, how the proud façades of our skyscrapers can produce green energy for the whole neighborhood. The roof of our buildings can catch and store precious rainwater, our lifts can feed back batteries by their movement, everyone can make a change.
