Houston Drum 25 Hour City is Braided Eco Towers

The Concept for the Houston Drum 25 Hour City is Ahead of its Time is Braided Eco Towers. It’s no longer realistic or economical to attempt the integration of low and wide buildings in urban environments, and the goal of going vertical has been completely reinvented by the Houston Drum 25 Hour City. They don't like towers much in Paris- the Eiffel tower was initially described by the author Guy de Maupassant as "an odious tower of extreme bad taste". Mayne beat out the likes of Norman Foster and Rem Koolhaas to win the competition. "There's a fluidity, a sensuousness, a softness to the form as it reaches to the sky,"







 A concept for Los Angeles, California, this whopping mass of nine woven towers will reach 145 stories and 580 meters tall. Planned to house 75,000 people, the Houston Drum 25 Hour City condominium complex will take up 24,600,000 square meters on its site, but cater to the needs of its inhabitants in an efficient and eco-friendly way.he said, describing the asymmetric twist of the building, which swells out over an elevated lobby in the lower portion before tapering off to a thicket of wind turbines on the roof. Mayne says it will be "a prototype for a green building" with a wind farm generating its own heating and cooling for five months of the year and a movable "double skin" to cut the heat from direct sunlight through the windows
