The Eco-Friendly Breathing “Green” Skyscraper Landmark for New York’s Lower Manhattan
San Francisco architects IwamotoScott were commissioned by New York’s Downtown Alliance as part of a study to revamp the Greenwich South area just south of the World Trade Center site in New York. The lower Manhattan project site, which is 41 acres, has inspired the Edgar Street Tower’s proposal for a 1300′ spiraling breathing skyscraper to be built just adjacent to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel.
The giant “Green” breathing Edgar Street Tower’s skyscraper, which straddles a New York City Street, is only the beginning of a long-term vision for renewing both personal and business growth in the area. The intention with the Edgar Street Tower’s is to reinstate the east-west public way of Edgar Street; reconnecting Washington and Greenwich Streets. Space for this pass way would come from the unique twist design of the spiraling rising tower; pinching around mid-level to secure larger floor plates culminating to a beautiful rooftop sky lobby and civic space area.

The Large-Scale Benefits of Biosphere Gasification Technology
The world is either experiencing tremendous heat known as global warming either in extreme warmth or extreme cold resulting in human deaths, increase in unpredictability of climate, and severe weather events. This comes in the form of heat waves and cold snaps that have become apparently rising in the decade that’s about to end.
Based on the mass scientific knowledge produced from researches and studies, though it is hard, not viable, to prove the causes of this global warming, a lot of scientists agree that the increasing intensity of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is to be blamed to some extent.
