Impending Apocalypse is the Mother of Invention

I don't have time to expound on the awesomeness of Air Trees, because I'm at work.

Still, just look at how freaking rad this is.




From Inhabitat:

The city of Madrid soon plans to add a striking new structure that will “climatically transform” its urban architecture. Designed by Urban Ecosystems, the Air Tree pavilion is to be built from recycled materials and will be 100% energy self-sufficient. Using photovoltaic cells, the Air Tree produces a substantial amount of energy, which is then sold back to the local electric companies, the profits being used for maintenance of the structure. The second byproduct is of course oxygen - hence the name ‘Air Tree’!

I.

Want.

One.

Like Yesterday.
