About the project
“If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only have four years to live,” said Albert Einstein. The building is intended for growing vegetables. It has a building area of 800 m2, and is 18 m wide, 60 m long, 50 m high, and has a total volume of 54,000 m3. The area of each floor is 580 m2.
The building’s bee hive shape is not only about design – It is a symbol of life. The bee plays an important role in pollination of plants, and the honeycomb is a strong and unique structure.
