THE PROBLEM WITH CITIES IS THEY ARE DESIGNED AROUND AUTOMOBILES AND NOT HUMAN BEINGS.

With each birth and death the world adds 2.5 people to the planet’s surface each second.  The world’s population will reach seven billion in 2011 and top out in 2050 at over nine billion.  Our species cannot continue with the status quo and that is why ET Squared is proposing the Energy Oasis Model.

The Energy Oasis Model is a high density, high rise, multi-use complex built at light rail stations. Commercial, office, and residential spaces are incorporated with an urban farm to create a community which utilizes mass transit systems. Then families will not need to have multiple cars to get from here to there.

ET Squared teamed has with John Gagnon who was lead designer for the Denver International Airport Main Terminal Building to get away from the status quo and start designing the future of Architecture and Urban Planning.

ET Squared has also teamed with RavenBrick LLC and their material science technology for the building’s exterior. Please visit our Alternative Energies page».

The Energy Oasis building is a solar collector. Our copy written design is nautilus shaped to improve various alternative energy systems that are incorporated into the building’s exterior wall and roof systems for better efficiency as we rotate around the Sun.

Smart design during the planning phase of the building, incorporating alternative energy systems with garden roof systems, harvesting energy from the natural resources: sun, water, wind, reducing the volume of waste by turning waste into energy to run the buildings utility systems is what we are trying to achieve.

The “Energy Oasis” is a high density residential commercial building built in a park environment located on both sides of a  light rail line with many trees and gardens that processes CO2 through photosynthesis to create miles of carbon sinks for metro areas. Also incorporated into the design are bridges over freeways and major intersections, landscaped as parks, using various path systems for the different modes of individual transportation that will connect existing neighborhoods with easy access to light rail stations. This will remove pedestrians from traffic flows in a metro area.
