Acadia Tree tower

 

 

Population growth and urban centralization have led to rapid escalation in real estate demands in major cities and commercial centers around the globe. In all large cities there is a mad scramble for ground space to build residential and office spaces. The burning question is - the future of real estate. A Czech architect attempts to address this issue via his revolutionary design. Petr Pospisil brings to you The Acadia Tree Tower à la Orbit City of the Jetsons .

The Acadia Tree Tower, an example of the futuristic Googie architecture, draws inspiration from African deserts and the Acadia tree in particular. Pospisil emphasizes that, like the real trees, the Acadia towers would be built of varying heights depending on the context they are meant to serve so as to adapt to the needs of the local populace.

The lean tower supported on just three legs packs a punch in way of design and usability. The multi-functional tower excels in architectural quality. The model houses all - office complexes, living spaces, helipads, swimming pools, spas, shopping centers, hotels, sports facility – in one. Yet the architect manages to minimize environmental footprint, and ensure a green façade for the high-rise.
However, the compliance with the city skyline is critical for mass acceptance of the tower design. For as long as the city landscape remains old style it will be interesting to see how the tower location (and surroundings) adapt to the nouveau design.
I for one would love to live in one of those condos nestled in the secure greens of the tower, with landscaped terraces and a beautiful panoramic view.

Yes, the future is here and Mr. Pospisil ushers it in – in style. Bravo!
