”Myceliopolis” is a visionary vertical city inspired by bioluminescent mushrooms, featuring undulating structures and a glowing exterior that serves as a symbol of sustainability. It seamlessly integrates residential, commercial, and recreational spaces, fostering a sense of community with vertical gardens and communal areas. The city employs smart technologies for efficiency and resilience.
The concept proposes the construction of rotating solar towers as the centerpiece of a vertical city, integrating renewable energy generation with agricultural innovation. This tower’s top portion will dynamically track the sun’s movement throughout the day, optimizing solar energy capture while creating a conducive environment for agricultural growth in the surrounding areas. Wind turbines on the towers and geothermal systems will further enhance energy efficiency. Through sustainable construction, resource management technologies, and a focus on zero-impact principles, the project aims to establish a new benchmark for environmentally conscious urban development.
