Cutting down into the center of a skyscraper, the "ecocell" is designed to bring landscape elements, daylight, rainwater, and natural ventilation into all levels of the building. This tiny volume (less than 5x5") outlines two masterplan projects by architectural firm Hamzah & Yeang utilizing this concept. Green and black photographs and drawings accompany the text describing the Hong Kong's West Kowloon Waterfront Development and the FNWI Urban Ecosystem at the U. of Amsterdam.
