Developed for future landscape of New York City, this state of the art construction is a very interesting concept in farming which appears to be able to facilitate potential food shortage. Called Dragonfly, this unbelievably gorgeous vertical farm is a new vision of how a modern urban farm should look like. Having impressive 132 floors and 600 meters in height, the building is capable of housing 28 fields to be used for agricultural purposes. This amazing innovative creation incorporates both solar and wind energy and was designed by architect Vincent Callebaut from Belgium.
There are wings that are designed to make most use of solar power by means of warm air to be accumulated in the farm during a winter time. Additional feature of the farm is its natural ventilation system. Vertical gardens are made to filter rain water with the intention to mix it with liquid waste afterwards.
This fabulous design concept looking after a real dragonfly will make it possible to meet consumer demands in the future. Renewable energy once again proves to be an intelligent idea already used in many industries. Wings of the construction are made of steel and glass. The farm also include wastewater recycling system, wind turbines, solar panels etc.
The Dragonfly is expected to produce not only fruits, meat, eggs but it will also have kitchen gardens, meadows and orchards. This ecologically friendly construction will surely make future New York sky line quite noticeable both visually and technologically.
