Skyscraper Cities - Joanna Borek-Clement’s Sky-Terra Towers Mimic Neuron Cells (GALLERY)
Joanna Borek-Clement’s Sky-Terra Towers Mimic Neuron Cells

The Sky-Terra towers designed by Joanna Borek-Clement are meant to augment the cities of the future. These green skyscrapers add an upper layer to the existing cityscape, with public parks, pools, bath houses, amphitheaters, and athletic fields integrated into a network shaped like neuron cells.

Joanna Borek-Clement’s Sky-Terra interconnected skyscrapers also have abundant foot paths and tiny streets to ease congestion. Her plan is for them to be constructed from modular parts that can be mass produced, thereby minimizing the use of resources.

Its a great ideal, not to mention visually stunning...That is if your a person lucky enough to be on top of the towers. If this were to actually happen you would see a separation of classes start to happen...those wealthy enough will live up top in a clean pristine environment while everyone else lives in the discarded city below...treated like 2nd class citizens in world perpetually in a murky twilight because during the day the towers would block almost all the light from the sun while holding in all the smog that would usually escape to higher altitudes. At night there would be a perpetual ambient glow from the cities above. I've seen this same scenario played out in countless anime (Ar Tonelico), video games(Final Fantasy 7, Ledgend of Dragoon, Xeno Gears) and movies (Solaris, The Jetsons movie -lol) and it always ends the same...the towers fall.
