Future landscape
The Green Cone is an experimental environmental project designed to isolate a landscape area within a translucent cone, simulating a winter garden effect. The objective is to raise the internal temperature by 1.5°C, mimicking the predicted global temperature increase expected by 2050 due to climate change. By recreating these conditions, the Green Cone allows us to observe and study how the same landscape might evolve, adapt, and behave under the anticipated climatic changes over the next 20 years.
Concept Sketch
The Green Cone regulates its internal temperature with advanced sensors that activate ventilation systems when the internal temperature exceeds 1.5°C compared to the outside. In addition to this sensor-driven climate control, data collected from these sensors provides critical insights for environmental studies.

Future Steps
The cone itself embodies cutting-edge sustainable innovation, constructed from an extruded recycled translucent material that reduces its carbon footprint while ensuring durability and energy efficiency. This material allows for easy visual monitoring, enabling researchers to observe the isolated environment while maintaining controlled internal conditions.
