Biotech City, designed by the architectural firm ON-A , is more than just a city; it’s a revolutionary blueprint for urban living in the 21st century. This self-sufficient metropolis, designed for extreme habitats, fuses cutting-edge architecture, engineering, and biotechnology to create a sustainable and resilient future.
Project Name: Biotech City
Architecture: Jordi Fernández & Eduardo Gutiérrez / ON-A
3D Visualization: Play-time
Biotech City breaks away from traditional urban design by starting with a circular form, free from the constraints of existing contexts. This unique approach allows for flexible growth in multiple directions, unburdened by historical limitations. It represents a transformative shift towards sustainable urbanism, shaping a harmonious and adaptable city from both a practical and inspiring perspective.
Adapting to Extreme Climates
Biotech City meticulously adjusts to the challenges of diverse climates. Its form meticulously responds to the specific environmental data of each location. In temperate zones, open configurations leverage natural ventilation, while arid regions utilize opaque structures for solar heat protection. This precise adaptability redefines urban resilience, showcasing the perfect balance between sustainability and innovative design.
The Dome: A Beacon of Innovation
The majestic dome of Biotech City seamlessly blends architecture, engineering, and biotechnology into a unified entity. This iconic structure embodies innovation and integrates flawlessly with its natural surroundings. As the city’s epicenter, it houses a convergence of sustainable technologies, meticulous design, and structural strength, symbolizing the successful collaboration between various disciplines at the heart of the city.
Nature and the urban environment coexist in perfect harmony within Biotech City. Lush vegetation, interactive landscapes, and living elements create an unparalleled connection with the natural world. This innovative approach not only beautifies the city but also harnesses biotechnology for deeper coexistence.
Biotech City’s ambitious sustainable vision is made possible through collaboration with BIOO, a leading biotechnology company at the convergence of nature and green technology. Together, we are redefining the boundaries of sustainability and energy efficiency in urban design. By harnessing plant photosynthesis and microbial fuel cells, we create an environment that not only integrates with nature, but also generates energy sustainably. This collaboration symbolises our strong determination to bring architecture and green technology together to forge a brighter, greener future for all.
At the heart of Biotech City, innovation knows no bounds. This inspiring place welcomes residents with the technology of the future, unlocking a harmonious symphony between urbanity and nature. This self-sufficient and climate-adaptable oasis harnesses design, engineering, and biotechnology beneath the vast dome of progress.
Biotech City stands as a testament to our commitment to a greener future, where human ingenuity and nature converge in transformative urban environments. With the city as our canvas, we paint a new dawn and a prosperous legacy for future generations.
