Carbon+capture

My latest annotation addressed buildings as a major contributor to carbon emissions and climate change. While largely speculative, a lot of conceptual building design aims to counteract this connotation about buildings and actually fight carbon emissions. In a third place competition entry by Canadians Yu Hao Liu and Rui Wu, titled Propogate Skyscraper, they make the goal of their tower to obtain and contain greenhouse gases. The basic concept provides a simple scaffold for ease of occupation and adaptation. More and more architects are proposing towers that aim to fight carbon emissions not only through efficient energy practices but by practices that aim for carbon capture. Some towers are even being built. It's very exciting.
