Desertification and dust storm has been the topic of research for many years, prompting designers and scientist across the world to try and find a sustainable solution. One of the most recent proposals involves the planting of the Green Wall of China, which is meant to save the country from dust storms by planting huge strips of trees to stop the Gobi Desert from spreading.

Krasojevic’s proposal involves building a sort of underground seed vault which would aid germination and harness wind powerto produce clean energy. “This underground shaft acts as an invertedgreenhousewhich can also produce food.”
Solar panels, arranged in a rotating pattern, would be combined with sand turbines framed within a tower that disperses seeds into the environment. In addition to generating power, the structure would use the ability of sand to retain temperatures and utilize it for insulation and as energy storage.
