| Description: | News article with image of high-rise housing based on biologically-inspired design. "Life is springing back to life in Haiti, so is the field of architecture. The most noteworthy thing in this regard is that Vincent Callebaut has succeeded in making a path breaking concept into reality. Callebaut has designed what known as the eco village in the country. The villages are supposed to be carbon neutral, thereby making it suitable for the eco-friendly tag. Altogether, the building is an artificial pier on seismic piles in the Caribbean Sea." |
