BPAS Architects imagines building huge water-harvesting skyscrapers for humanity to survive in the desert, one of the 15 finalist projects for Dezeen’s Redesign the World competition powered by Twinmotion.
Titled A New World: The Desert Faction, the project imagines a future where the Sahara Desert has expanded significantly and humans have been forced to build larger and larger communities in the hot, arid environment.
In BPAS Architects’ vision, technology works in tandem with the desert environment, with energy harvested via solar panels. Water is scarce, and the faction’s skyscrapers collect rainwater before it evaporates, pumping it through underground tunnels to surrounding farming areas and communities.
The water transforms the desert into a fertile landscape where crops grow, and communities flourish, eventually reversing desertification.
BPAS Architects imagines that the desert-living communities would form one of several “factions” around the world, where humanity has been forced to adapt to harsh environmental conditions.
Redesign the World is the ultimate design competition, which called for new ideas to rethink planet Earth to ensure that it remains habitable long into the future.
Launched in partnership with Epic Games, the contest asked entrants to visualise their concepts using architectural visualisation software Twinmotion.
