Eco-Friendly Skyscraper in Singapore – Modern Tower by T.R.Hamzah and Yeang
Joining the ranks of the world’s top architectural centers like Dubai, Singapore’s EDITT Tower is a modern marvel of eco-friendly, aesthetically appealing and truly amazing building designs. Created by architects T.R.Hamzah & Yeang, EDITT – the acronym for “Ecological Design in the Tropics" – is a 26-storey structure that embraces sustainable features like 855 m2 of photovoltaic panels delivering 39.7 per cent of the building’s energy supply; passive ventilation methods; a biogas generation plant to convert sewage into alternate energy and fertilizer; all wrapped in an organic envelope of local vegetation that acts as an insulator. The contemporary design also features a grey-water recycling system to irrigate its living, leafy facade. T.R.Hamzah & Yeang
