Looks a lot like proposals we have seen for skyscrapers in New York City, with those big voids to make them taller. This one reminds me of Daniel Libeskind's proposal for Madison Avenue. In fact, it is a giant chimney, where polluted air is drawn in at the bottom and sucked up through filters. "It incorporates a modular kinetic façade that helps to optimize the air intake and responds to prevailing wind directions, a filtration system that collects TSP and PM10 particles and an ionization system that collects PM2.5 particles."
It also has green garden modules, "incorporated in the residential section of the tower, located at 400m and above, where the layer of smog doesn’t reach. The Green-Gardens include dense vegetation of various kinds, which not only help to adjust air oxygen levels and balance the micro-climate of the tower, but also provide attractive and healthy public areas to serve the wellbeing of the tower occupants and improve the daylighting of the inner chimney atrium."

PhD position in “Governing the Urban Circular Economy”
The Chair Green Economy and Resources Governances, in collaboration with the IGLUS (Innovative Governance of Large Urban Systems,www.iglus.org), announces the opening of a PhD position on the governance challenges of the urban circular economy.
The project will investigate the governance of the re-use of used materials (such as recycling or waste to energy projects). Such re-use has started in some urban areas, often thanks to the initiative of citizens and private firms, but it is often slowed down because of lacking or inexistent regulations and un-adapted governance structures.
The urban circular economy indeed needs the creation of innovative governance systems that allows actors to work together towards more efficient and sustainable solutions. The successful PhD candidate will study, among others, business models, technological transitions, power and agency as well as citizen involvement as contributions to an Urban Circular Economy.
Candidates from all relevant disciplines are encouraged to apply. But, candidates with a Master’s degree in management of technology and technology policy will be given preference.The position will remain open until filled. Please send your application dossier, comprising your CV, a sample paper and names of four reference persons.
Your application has to follow the official criteria of the Doctoral School: phd.epfl.ch/cms/page-19492-en.html
For further information please contact:

From BetterHelp
Hi
First, we want to congratulate you for reaching out for help. We understand that this process may be new and difficult for you. You have taken the first (and most courageous) step. You have been matched with a licensed and certified counselor who will guide you through the next steps.
So you're probably asking - how does this work? It's quite simple, actually. Just like with any counseling, you and your counselor will discuss any challenges you're facing or might face, and you will develop some positive ways to reach your goals. The difference is that you don't need to come to an office and you don't need to schedule any time out of your day. Instead, you can write whenever it's convenient for you, and move forward at a pace that you feel comfortable with.
Please note that your messages with your counselor aren't in real-time but it won't be too long before you get a response from your counselor. Your sessions also have another benefit - you can re-read and reflect on our conversations at any time. Often, going back to a conversation can be very helpful and it's one of those things that will help you and your counselor move forward together.
What happens if you feel you and your counselor don't connect well? While we try to match you with the best counselor for your needs, that can certainly happen! There are over 4,000 therapists who work on this platform and you can switch to work with another counselor at any time.
Thank you for trying BetterHelp, and for joining the community of 500,000 people who took steps to make a positive change in their lives. We'll now leave it to you and your counselor to get started!
Sincerely,
BetterHelp Team
