One of his latest projects is called the dragonfly which is an urban farm for New York. The building is designed to be totally self sufficient, here's the blurb:
The tower, true living organism, becomes thus metabolic and self-sufficient in water, energy, and bio-fertilizing. Nothing is lost; everything is recyclable to a continuous auto-feeding!
The skyscraper will also have gardens, orchards, meadows, rice fields, farms and suspended fields, and to produce meat, milk, poultry and eggs, as well a variety of fruit and veg. Not half bad.
