Moshe Safdie's Golden Dream Bay Sky Garden Apartments (PICTURES)

From Inhabitat:

If you've ever wanted to live inside of a pixelated dream world, check out Moshe Safdie's massive residential complex design for Qinhuangdao, China. Best known as the designer of the famous Habitat 67, Safdie once again turns to the pixel as a design element - but this time on an even grander scale. Called Golden Dream Bay, the resulting group of buildings are stepped mountains complete with sky gardens, rooftop pools, sky bridges and green pathways running along the beach.

Moshe Safdie, designer of the famous Habitat 67, has taken his classic design element, the pixel, and updated it for a massive residential complex in Qinhuangdao, China. Golden Dream Bay is a pixelated dream of sky gardens, rooftop pools, sky bridges and green pathways running along the beach. Safdie, much like Bjarke Ingels of BIG, likes to provide each of his residences with access to views and private garden space.

It looks to me like the inhabitants of this apartment complex would have to rely on automobiles to buy groceries or go anywhere. Apartments should be connected to the city so that the automobile is not needed.

Those apartments look spectacular. It really gives it a more natural atmosphere.

Moshe Safdie is also the architect of Mamilla Hotel. An oasis of Luxury in the heart of Jerusalem. A jewel of architecture by Piero Lissoni and Moshe Safdie with a secret touch: the attention to Music. Because that too is part of the space occupied by humanity.

So much for the over population myth! (China will be able to afford it once foundation robotics are developed). Obviously, LFTR ,the safer form of nuclear, will be needed as robotically mass produced solar can barely even support present day populations (~10,000,000,000 people at the western standard which would use about 1/50th of total land area!).
There are ways of overcoming resource shortages (and the next conspiracy theory!)...

So. They are going to waste a ton of money building structures to grow trees in the air?

Well, it actually takes up less space on the planet than single-family homes spread out all over.

Also reduces the heat island effect of our flat tarred or gravel roofs.

What a ghastly design! Utterly lacking in either aesthetic or practical appeal.

One on my biggest problems in living in a city is that there is not enough green. This architectural model solves the problem. I would live in a building like that.
