Project Name : Green Giant
Project Team : Byung kyun Kim, Jongwon Lee

The Green Giant is a new urban power plant designed within the dense urban context to provide energy, food and new social programs to the city. Along with the technology advancement, urban life style will change rapidly in the future. High density city will appear within 20 years and Jersey City located near New York City is not an exception. As a result city demands for higher energy and agricultural production to meet the increasing demands. Green Giant, placed in the heart of the urban context will not only provide energy, water, oxygen and food but also generate various social programs within to adapt to its urban context. Flexibility of the tower allows the power plant to change and adapt to environmental conditions to optimize its performance and program spaces will evolve and grow on its dramatic external conditions to become a powerful social attractor of the city. The abandoned rail tracks will function not only as open green space for the public but an infrastructure for green energy network.
