The winners have been announced and the LO2P: Delhi Recycling Center has walked away with from this year's eVolo Skyscraper competition with first place. A stunning eco-structure of massive proportions, I'm not surprised that this took away the top prize.
Designed by Atelier CMJN, which was led by Julien Combes, Gaël Brulé of France, the LO2P: Delhi Recycling Center may look like a ferris wheel, but it certainly does not belong in a carnival. Instead, it is a recycling center, power plant and air filter all wrapped up in one.
Like a vertical garden, the LO2P: Delhi Recycling Center could bring a lot of good to many cities around the world. As waste goes in, clean energy, air and food comes out.
