Italian 'Castle
In The Sky'
Concept Looks
Beautiful
While there are
obvious doubts
as to whether
this "castle in
the sky" will
ever leave its
concept phase,
you've got to
admit the idea
is
breath-taking.
Soaring high
above, it's the
next-gen
hydrology system
for cities.
Designed for the
central-Italian
city of Latina
by the Atelier
Ramdam Architect
firm, it would
span 2,000
square meters,
with the water
tower buried
beneath the lush
landscape and
pond. Public
could
potentially walk
up the tower and
around the
rooftop, making
it a landmark
offering
beautiful
views—though
coursing through
the tower would
be the
evaporation
which leads to
vaporization.
Then, the
precipitation
falls back down
to earth.
