# Spiraling Cosmic Towers The Space-Scraper in Cairo is Futuristic and Eco-Friendly By Annie Ho | Published 2010-07-04 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-scraper-cairo References: [evolo.us](http://www.evolo.us/architecture/sustainable-space-scraper-in-cairo/) Cairo's 'Space-Scraper' is an eco-friendly building that combines three spiraling towers interlocking with one another. Tower one is strictly office, the other two towers serve the purpose of a hotel and a residential place. How is this building eco-friendly? Well, it is powered by the sun, wind and the power of the Nile River. Designed by Mohamed Abdel-Aziz, this [futuristic building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astra-skyscraper) has yet to be built. If it is built, however, the Space-Scraper in Cairo will overlook the pyramids and the Nile River. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco-friendly Architecture:** Designing buildings that are powered by renewable energy sources and have minimal ecological impact presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the construction industry. - **Vertical Interlocking Structures:** Creating buildings with interlocking spiraling towers introduces a new approach to space utilization and architectural design, offering disruptive innovation opportunities for urban development and construction. - **Sustainable Skyscrapers:** Developing environmentally sustainable skyscrapers that integrate renewable energy sources and embrace eco-friendly technologies opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the real estate and urban planning sectors. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Construction:** Implementing eco-friendly building designs and construction methods to minimize environmental impact can present disruptive innovation opportunities in the construction industry. - **Architecture:** Exploring new concepts and designs such as vertical interlocking structures can lead to disruptive innovation opportunities in the field of architectural planning and development. - **Real Estate:** Developing sustainable skyscrapers that offer eco-friendly features and utilize renewable energy sources can disrupt the real estate industry by appealing to environmentally-conscious tenants and investors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ski Resort Crystalline Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trojena-ski-resort.md) - [Sci-Fi Coastal Hotel Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epicon.md) - [Rain-Collecting Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bpas-architects.md) - [Cube-Shaped Skyscraper Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mukaab.md) - [Eco-Conscious Slim Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muraba-veil.md) - [Organic Striking Tower Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-leaves.md) - [Solar-Lined Energy Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-tower-1.md) - [Climate-Sensitive Pavilion Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/querkraft.md) - [Staggered Cubic Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ooda.md)
