A prototype for a high-rise with a structure made entirely of wood, Endless Canopy is a 30-story tower covered in plants to create the illusion of an endless canopy or a vertical forest that stretches from the ground floor to the very top of the tower.
This poster is one of a selection of entries from the TREEHOUSING International Wood Design Competition that was run by FAO and DBR | Design Build Research School on the occasion of the XIV World Forestry Congress in Durban, South Africa, in September 2015.The competition challenged architecture students, professional architects and designers to develop innovative and sustainable wood housing and urban building solutions.
