EuropaCityBIG
Imagine a mall. Now imagine a mall in the year 2150.
The design firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), along with a few added team members (Tess, Transsolar, Base, Transitec, and Michel Forgue) have won first place in a competition to design an experimental "urban center" in France called EuropaCity. Located in Île-de-France, the wealthiest and most populous region in France, EuropaCity is intended to be a center of culture and retail, combining all sorts of experimental sustainable technologies.
But as a design--and a pretty spectacular one at that--it's best experienced through images. Click through to the gallery to see and read more about the proposal!
