The Crystal Hall integrates sustainability, reuses material, and uses disadvantaged local talent.
It has the world's first residential windmill towers, uses two layers of high-performance recycled glass with a rainforest of non-invasive vegetation species within, thermal insulation technology & rainwater utilization — creating a glocal (global local) building.
Glass —which can be recycled endlessly without loss of quality or clarity, recreates bioclimatic conditions that help tackle climate change.
The building follows a zero-waste policy and is an example of socially responsible architecture. Everything was handmade - providing employment to the poorest indigenous people of color while preserving the skillsets of neighbouring artisans.
