High(dro)-Rise

In 2011 Amanda Bate and I entered the Evolo Magazine sky-scraper competition with High(dro)-Rise.

The proposal is for an osmotic power plant situated on the Danshu River in Taipei, making use of the fresh and salt water available in the location. Aqua-cultural and water leisure

industries are integrated into the system taking advantage of the different salinities of the exhaust waters. The scheme would supplement the fading light manufacture associated with

the ‘made in taiwan’ brand, provide sustainable energy for the ever expanding metropolis and recreate a cultural link with the feared Danshu.
