San Francisco is already one of the greenest cities in the US, but check out this wild new concept from IwamotoScott Architects to completely remake the city into an ecotopia by 2108. Hydro-Net, as the project is known, will bring the lovely city-by-the-bay and is perhaps the most remarkable, modern and futuristic concept ever envisioned for San Francisco - considering global warming and the hunt for alternative energy sources in the coming century.
This network would connect water, power collection, and distribution systems across the city, forming one giant super-system that would resemble seaweed and chanterelle mushroom in its form.
The walls of the network would consist of carbon nanotubes walls, which would store and distribute the hydrogen generated by algae. The hydrogen would in turn be used as fuel to run hover-cars in the underground tunnels.
