Chartier-Corbasson has unveiled plans for a skyscraper made entirely from residents' waste. The Organic London Skyscraper is designed to be clad in durable panels made from paper and recycled plastic waste.
This skyscraper will grow over time, as residents create more waste, its plastic skin will be completed within a year.
Through the opening of the Organic London Skyscraper Gallery, Chartier-Corbasson aims to reduce waste and minimize construction costs simultaneously. Initially, the building will be constructed with a structure modeled after the Asian bamboo model.
These prefabricated sections will be installed as the building's construction progresses, and panels made from recycled waste will be added to the facade over time.
As people begin renting and buying spaces at lower levels, construction of the upper portion will commence, causing this skyscraper to grow organically in response to demand and supply. Upon completion, the building will have a slender elongated pyramid shape, covered in a crystalline layer of recycled materials.
The translucent facade will fill the interior with natural light while protecting it from excessive heat and direct exposure. Hollow tubes inserted into the structure will be fitted with wind turbines to allow the tower to generate its own electricity.
