You know skyscrapers - but do you know groundscapers? 🌁 These are very extensive, yet relatively low buildings. A perfect example is Google's headquarters in London. The project has only 11 floors but stretches for an impressive 300 meters! 🏙️ This solution has many advantages. It doesn’t ruin the city skyline, offers vast space for employees, helps fight for a better climate, and is more cost - effective 💡 Groundscapers are also an excellent way to decentralize cities. Because of this, their history is longer than one might expect. They first gained popularity around a hundred years ago! If you want to see examples of this low, futuristic architecture, check out the linked article. #architecture #design #skyscraper #groundscraper #art #city
