Via Arch Daily, a proposal for the birds... (I question the absence of guano) "The “ECO-CLIFF” is a revolutionary tower that will serve as a nesting ground for thousands of migrating birds as well as an ecological habitat for the different animals and species of the “Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve Zoo”.

More from Arch Daily:  "Eco-Cliff will accommodate a variety of migrating birds which pass the Costanera Sur Reserve each year. The migrating birds nesting areas would accompany the human visitors along their ascending path throughout the varied elements of the tower, including the different animal spaces and the observation decks."

Via Inhabitat:  "Called Spiral Garden, the winding green space... [a] lacy mesh structure is a place for neighbors to socialize, garden and harvest, and even serves as a spot to store bikes between errands."  More text and images at Designboom.

3. Greenside Out
Joubert Architecture

Via Inhabitat: "a condominium project in Tirana, Albania would help break the cycle of monotony and bland architecture in the expanding city. What was countryside beyond the city center only ten years ago has now become a series of box factories, warehouses, stores and apartment complexes stretching along a highway. The Netherlands-based firm proposes to revitalize the strip of land with a new condominium complex featuring terraced gardens on innovative interior cutouts."
