An ambitious concept that calls for outdated hotels to be injected with greenery has been awarded the top prize at the 2014 Radical Innovation Awards. The Green Air Hotel concept was created by architect Lip Chiong’s Shanghai-based firm Studio Twist and builds on the growing trend of implementing gardens to combat pollution and clean indoor air.
The Green Air Hotel features an indoor greenhouse, a green façade and a green air room that is designed to “grow fresh air.”
The hotel centres around the idea of refreshing existing hotels in China, which is in the midst of a pollution crisis.
