Honorable Mention
2014 Skyscraper Competition
The Hyper Filter Skyscraper
recognizes the threat of environmental pollution to Earth. Under today’s levels
of pollution, harmful substances spread over hundreds of kilometers and a whole
region and even a country could represent a single pollution source.
The Hyper Filter Skyscraper
is designed to inhale carbon dioxide and other harmful gases in cities and
exhale concentrated oxygen. The skin of the project is made out of long pipe
filters that ensure the cleaning process. While clean air is released to the
atmosphere, all the harmful substances are stored for use in the chemical
industry.
