Ahmed Elseyofi's 'Chlorophyll' Skyscraper Imitates Plant Life (PHOTOS): "According to Sustainable Sources, an Austin-based green building web site, commercial technology for passive solar heating is more developed than that of passive solar cooling. However, this disparity has not stopped the ideas from becoming part of the mainstream design dialogue."
'via Blog this'
Between what and how is something today called architecture. Who ever goes craziest with their computer aided drafting and design software's is the winner. Questions arise like "Will this building withstand a 747 crashing into it?" and "What is it's ability to withstand seismic amplitudes of 9.0?"
Also, "Does it come in pink?" The new architecture is actually just old architecture that has come to pass due to unraveling complex proportion structures not made of brick.
Like everything else -- this too shall pass.
