Reforestation Skyscraper by Thomas Gössler
Reforestation Skyscraper by Thomas Gössler
With deforestation being one of the biggest human-driven environmental problems this tendency not only has to be stopped but needs to be reversed. The aim of this project is to use skyscrapers in combination with modern technology to automate the process of reforestation and re-naturalization.

Big problems need big solutions, and the reforestation skyscraper could help to reverse the damage. It recreates forests out of cow grazing areas, soy fields and destroyed landscapes by centralizing all necessary processes into one structure. At the top, seeds are inserted into an aquaponic system which – once large enough – slowly slide down a winding ramp whilst continuing to grow. After a few weeks, the seedling has grown and gradually slid towards the bottom and can subsequently be planted into the surrounding fields by mechanical arms and drones.

The tower also houses a laboratory, a seed stock, water storage, a fire station for forest fires, sleeping cabins for temporary workers, a control center, several farming spaces, technology and exhibition spaces. Large semi-transparent solar sails make it energy self-sufficient and are slowly moved with an electrical chain drive and mechanical arms. The tower is 70 meters high and its design is biophilic and inspired by nature itself. The loadbearing construction consists of recycled steel and a building enclosure made of biodegradable and renewable eco-polymers.
