Mine is the Biggest!






Hmm....coming up after a long hiatus...sure am I coming up??!!



Ever heard of “Size matters”!! …lo and behold now you will see it.
we are living in a capitalist world and believe me I love being in it in every sense of it. I think the ideology behind capitalism is extremely testosterone driven and that gives all the more reason to be drawn into it. You educate yourself in the school with academicians trying to direct you against it…but Zoooopp….put your first foot in and there you are being sucked into it feeling exhilarated with the adrenaline rush.

With the lobbyist around you calling these buildings “ugly” as they see them as a propagation towards eco-terrorism, I wonder if at all they are really so! I guess capitalist are the futurists and now towards a sustainable one as that holds a sustainable future for their ventures.

Buildings that soar up with imposing slenderness and functionality could also incorporate the effect of minimizing energy requirements and the impact of itself on the natural environment. Le Corbusier proposed radiant city which was depicted in the post-revolutionary era in many of the present day cities……
Taking this idea further by Mori Minoru in his vision of the future he talks about building a city vertically up keeping in mind the space constraints in the development of the global village.

Much said and done, tall buildings "can be" sustainable and this idea has just started to warm up............

Capitalists are whom we need to propagate "sustainability" to....they are the ones to sustain our "green ideas"
