The Green Dip - Covering the City with a Forest

The Green Dip offers ways to reintroduce nature into our cities, by critically examining architectural strategies and green solutions.

The research group The Why Factory (Delft University of Technology) has produced a series of visualizations of various greened cities (Hong Kong, São Paulo, Dubai and many more). These visualizations respond to the analysis and calculations made for each of the biomes in which the cities are located. The visualizations are accompanied by sets of objective data, from the amount of oxygen that can be produced, via the gallons of water than can be stored, to the number of birds that can be provided with a habitat.

Ultimately, The Green Dip provides an innovative method to calculate the environmental benefits and estimate the costs of greening our cities. The research offers ways to reintroduce nature into our homes and claims that agriculture, forestry and organic production can be the catalyst for other ways of making the metropolis.
