warsaw-based design studio FAAB architektura presents a continued investigation in prototypical landscape urban environments with its vertical oasis building. the studio, in seeking to reduce the environmental impact of buildings, develops an architectural tower system which works to harvest electricity from the sun, requires a lowered energy demand, and makes use of passive shading with the controlled geometries of its expressive green facade. the main goal of the design team is to introduce a performative ecological process that directly involves its occupants, allowing the capacity to control, manage and enhance the changing climate.

FAAB architektura designs its vertical oasis building as a growing, repeatable system able to improve the natural environment at an urban scale. the project further seeks to establish a new type of urbanity, where technology and biotechnology will counter the natural impact of its occupants, offering a habitat which satisfies their standard of living. the vertical oasis building typology is envisioned to be situated among densely populated urban areas, with multi-functional programming including retail, office, hotel, and residential spaces. when connected with ground heat pumps, the building is designed to serve as the local heat distribution center for surrounding area.
