2 Great Eco-Friendly House Concepts
Category: Concept Gadgets, Featured, Green Life, Unusual Gadgets
The future houses are planned to be more interactive with the nature and natural resources by talented designers and engineers.
The first one is a solar and wind power combo solution which uses ivy-like flexible leaves to produce energy on the walls. 
There are electrical receivers under each leaf to harvest the energy. I find it also aesthetically appealing. The project is called GROW by SMIT, the industrial designer company. Here is an interview with the CEO of SMIT at Ecolect. Their aim is to be able to sell this modular system in design & building stores in 1, 2 years. The photo looks like a CPU, so AMD or Intel can put their logos for advertisement purposes. 
The second one is exactly what we will have to do in big cities in the future. An apartment tower with its own hydroponic garden, better to say a little tree park where you can also produce your own organic food. A UN report shows that in 2010, 50% of Chinese population will live in apartments in cities. It is known that it will bring problems of excessive air and soil pollution and the damage to natural resources.
So, here is our hero of Agro-housing. This garden apartment becomes alive in Wuhan, China, soon. A presentation video of the project.
