London may be getting its own version of the High Line park along the River Thames. The team of Erect Architecture and J&L Gibbons landscape architects were chosen in a competition organized by RIBA and Vauxhall One. Their design combines a lush elevated promenade with a series of temporary installations, acting as both a commuting route and cultural attraction for locals and tourists.

This gorgeous swimming pool isn’t a typical chlorine-filled watering hole–it’s actually a natural swimming pond that relies on plants to filter the water. (Don’t worry, you’re not swimming among the plants and stepping in squishy mud; the plant regeneration area is kept separate from the swimming area.) Even if you already have a swimming pool, you can enjoy the benefits of a chemical-free pond and relaxing natural environment using the structure you already have with a few design changes.

Strawberry Energy recently unveiled a new solar powered park in Belgrade that invites visitors to charge their mobile devices using the power of the sun. Designed by Tamara Švonja and Vojin Stojadinović, Strawberry Tree Flow was created with the help of the City of Belgrade and Mikser organization. The design team says: “Elements are connected by the energy which is visually presented with the pipes holding all modular elements, and through which solar energy flows. It [invites] visitors to explore, track and find a place where solar energy comes to him/her.”
