Eco_Scape is a practice embedded, collaborative research project devised in partnership with Arup, and China's Tonji University and Beijing University.

Exploring the design and construction of environmentally friendly super tall buildings in Chinese cities, the project brings together practitioners and academics from both Australia and China to explore the future direction of super tall buildings within China.

Increasing focus on managing population densities and limiting environmental impacts of buildings, calls for the constructing of environmentally responsive buildings that blend harmoniously within the city landscape.

Eco_Scape aims to produce a dynamically responsive tower that is able to interact with its environment, taking advantage of free energy to provide comfortable living and working spaces via digital based modelling systems.

Eco_Scape seeks to produce a sustainable site specific tower for future project benchmarking. It also explores the idea of the vertical metropolis and its integration into the Chinese culture.
