Geotube

Geotube is a building proposal designed by faulders studio for the unique environment of Dubai. Geotube building features a large super structure which will, over time, grow a skin façade on its own. the system utilizes a vertical salt deposit growth systemthat uses water from the adjacent persian gulf. the water is sprayed onto the mesh of the superstructure using a gravity fed system, allowing the skin to continually grow using nothing but local materials. because the persian gulf has the world's highest salinity for oceanic water, the sprayed water will evaporate and salt deposits begin to form.
