NOAH - A Giganitic Trigone Designed for New Orleans





This is like something out of a Manga movie! The scary thing is this is now a reality of where our architecture & technology is goign now. NOAH (New Orleans Arcology Habitat) or Arco (short for arcology), this massive trigone building that contains all the elements of a city within one structure. NOAH is a 1200-foot-tall arco designed especially for New Orleans. NOAH proposes to be a habitat for 40,000 residents who can benefit from the planned residential units, school system, commercial, retail, hotels, casinos, parking, and public works facilities. And features this structure will use an array of green systems, including solar panels, water turbines, wind turbines, fresh water recovery, and a passive solar glazing system.
