Flowers at Your Building


We all want to help save the environment for the sake of our future generations and the continuity of our mother nature.
Nowadays, there are so many sophisticated  architecture designs all around the world. They like to compete to be the best landmark ever without thinking the impacts to the  environment.
This would be a hard nut to crack if we just take it for granted.

One of the ways that can be taken to help save the environment in various designs is by structuring the designs with environmentally concepts.

One Central Park

  • One of the architecture design which is concerned with this matter is The One Central Park. This two tower structure has a dozen of vertical gardens across the façade of the towers and these gardens will surely give a safe and clean air to the tower's occupant.
  • Moreover, this tower has heliostat which its function as to capture sunlight and redirects it to the building. This concept will definitely serve as the natural source of light thus saving a huge amount of electricity for lighting need.


How it will integrate into the society?

  • This concept would be an initiative and inspiration for designers and related fields and people in designing their projects. Thus, realizing the importance of preserving and conserving our authentic nature.
  • Both private and public sectors would initiate this creative concept before considering a particular project.
  • This is expected to reduce the spending for building a project which has an eco-friendly concept. It will give a long-term benefit to private organizations as well as to government.




Effect the technology brought to the culture

  • In our culture, having gardens around the house already become a good initiative  to preserve environment.
  • This technology will become a boost to our culture to reduce pollution and increase our awareness towards nature.
  • The architecture field becomes a leading field to encourage people to love green and make this as a good modern culture. 
Barrier of acceptance

  • One of the barriers  to this new concept of technology is that, there would be less interest for the societies and the organizations to invest for this concept as it consumes a huge amount of investment at the early stage of development.
  • There would be a high in spending for the organizations as it needs a regular observation and maintenance.
 

Legal challenges

  • The government would face some problems to implement in all buildings and areas. Only certain individuals and organizations afford to spend in a high cost project. This will create some gaps and will not cover in all areas.

  1. It is not just to preserve nature because of the pollution made by the technology but it is such a longterm project to bring people into a healthy condition. This may become a central garden in the middle of the big cosmopolitan city, but who knows next will be a garden in every workplace.

  3. The first impression it may look messy and like in the jungle. However, this concept can be one of the good way to help our environment. This structure can be an ART for the designers to visualize their ideas about nature and modern designs. Combination of these both items can be a great masterpiece for them.
    This concept can give a long-term benefits for society and also the organization even though it needs a huge amount of investment at the early stage of development.
    Feel like in the jungle even we are in a cosmopolitan city.
