Architects from the Parisian agency Chartier-Corbasson were apparently inspired by scenes from the film Idiocracy, and came up with a vision of a skyscraper in London that would be built from waste produced by its inhabitants and surrounding buildings.
It would be a system where the skyscraper "builds itself," meaning it grows proportionally with the amount of more and more waste being produced. The building's structure would be made of short tubes, so no crane would be needed. Household and office waste would be transformed into building material in the upper part of the building, where it would be delivered by elevators, creating additional floors of the tower in a continuous, self-creating process. The project obviously still has many bugs and shortcomings—after all, who would want to live on an eternal construction site and between walls made of garbage—but it is reportedly still better than an unmanageable and bulky pile of waste. red, photo chartcorb.free.fr
