French architectural firm Vincent Callebaut Architects has released plans for a series of ‘farmscrapers’.

Measuring 396-metres in height, and featuring 111 floors, the farmscrapers include suspended gardens on each of the structures’ exteriors, as well as wind turbines and solar panels to green the whole process. “It is a prototype to build a green, dense, smart city connected by technology and eco-designed from biotechnologies,” a statement from the firm said.
