This year's Zumbotel Built 'Environment' award went to the Harmonia 57 project in San Paolo, Brazil. The award-winning organic office building was designed by Triptyque Architects and is an amazing sight to say the least.
This office building is about as green as it gets, as most of its exterior is covered by plant life. This is made possible by an irrigated mist system and organic concrete walls that act as pores for the building. This award-winning office space will definitely influence the shape and shade of things to come.
