Finalist
2011 Skyscraper Competition
Tee Khay Mee
Malaysia
The Rescuer Skyscraper is an algae hydrogen-powered floating
skyscraper proposal to be used as temporal shelter for disaster zones.
It could also be used during the rehabilitation and reconstruction of
the affected areas.
The project is based on the idea of producing bio-fuels through an
ingenious algae farm that covers the top part of the structure. The
algae will absorb CO2 as its main nutrient for photosynthesis and will
produce hydrogen to be used in bioreactors.
The geometry of the project resembles a vertical blimp with an open structure where housing units could be located.
