Two giant dragonfly wings, glass towers built in close proximity, all interconnected by number of floors with flowering orchards and ripening corn. People behave in their lives right at their homes in hundreds of feet above the ground … This vision is still just a mirage. However, where the architecture is able to increase the population of cities and the growing need for new residential land or agricultural land?
What will cities look like in fifteen years when, according to UN projections increase their population at 5.5 billion? How will the metropolitan areas the food supply? And where they take more land for crops and land for new residents? Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut, a visionary take seriously the warnings on the development of population, world population growth and environmental threats. His visions are not the details or a deliberate design functional solutions are also an important achievement and inspiration. Represent the ideas offered by the global brainstorming, to search for functional variants of the fantastic projects that are inspired by nature, animal and vegetable. Vincent Callebaut looks to our future and unusual solutions as well as for his vision of floating cities (see Project No. 5 / 2009) is a new area on the water surface. Vertical Farm Project Dragonfly (Dragonfly) takes the form of translucent wings, located in New York City. Organic futuristic design emphasizes the use of practices friendly to nature, which are not yet known and so far only sketched in the imagination of the Belgian architect. The unusual design is to become a farm in the heart of the city, which is not only self-sufficient organism, but will help with the supply and its surroundings.

On the wings of glass
Conservatory with a huge steel structure hidden in the bowels of orchards, fields and meadows. It is envisaged also to livestock farmers or poultry. To ensure the permanent operation and life cycle of the vertical farm is also part of her home, rest areas, offices and science laboratories located round the perimeter of the building.

Construction on the river flowing along the southern East River waterfront Roosevelt Island in New York on the sides at the level of being expanded to better resist the current which traverses. On both sides of the construction of two balanced port jetty – from the west towards Manhattan on wooden pontoons open habitat for marine transport and taxis on the eastern side of the floating market place open to the Queens district should distribute food from the farm. In addition, the base of the tower hosts two large tanks, reservoirs of water filtered soft fitted frontal panels and used to irrigate farms.

Circulation within the building provides the “backbone”, which revolves around the perimeter of the quantity of lifts for personal transportation, transporting goods and trim separate waste for recycling. These include the trunks of many staircases. Six hundred feet high with wings of steel structures replicating veined structure of insect exo-skeleton contains 132 floors. To 28 different types of agricultural land not only offer opportunities for farm produce milk, meat, eggs and poultry, but also the land continuously regenerated organic fertilizer.
