EDITT Tower- Singapore
EDITT Tower (“Ecological Design In The Tropics”) will be built in Singapore with the financial support of their National University and is going to be one of the most eco-friendly towers in the country.
it is going to have 26 floors and will use photovoltaic panels to make energy. But the eco factor of this building will be given by the fact that it will be wrapped in organic local vegetation. It was designed to collect rain-water, both for plant irrigation and for its people needs.
The plants take up about half of the structure and it's planned that it'll be made from local vegetation. Ramps will connect EDITT to the surrounding shops and offices, so people can pop in for a visit to check out the garden. The building is also covered with photovoltaic panels that'll account for 39.7% of its power, and rainwater will be collected for both plant irrigation and supplying the building's water supply — for flushing a toilet, for instance.
