Mesiniaga: Subang Jaya

Ken Yeang concept of skyscraper called 'Artificial Land in the Sky' is a skyscraper concept (high-rise building) that can be 'alive' and adapt to the environment as living beings. The structure serves as a frame building and the floors can vary different functions, such as a playground, mall, cafe or other. This concept is like defining the ground-floor skyscraper to be like an empty lot that can fill a variety of functions such as housing, parks, and commercial places in general.

"Buildings will need to be designed not as high-energy polluting open systems but as mimetic urban ecosystems that relate their inputs, outputs and operations within the context and carrying capacities of the ecosystems in the biosphere..."
