The synergy between balanced tension and compression components create an incredibly light structure that is absolutely strong even by using a minimum amount of material.
This main skeleton support a secondary alveolar structure made by nanotechnological fiberglass. As hydroponic agriculture doesn't require soil, plant's roots are host inside suspended sack of inert material.
The energy needed to maintain the agricultural cultivation comes from sun, wind and vibration.
Solar energy is taken from photovoltaic cells integrated in the glass shelter that partially cover the visitors footbridge.
Eolian and vibration energy comes from vertical axis turbines, installed inside highway’s barrier.
The target is to exploit natural wind as well as airstream and vibration coming from automatic vehicles that will pass fast.
