Chambers with a suitable microclimate, which consist of one or two spaces, are situated on two or three floors on the plates of a bridging construction, made of plates and beam walls. The chambers together with the bridging construction are placed on a shuttering platform, made as a space frame construction. With the help of 12 elevators (6 situated over the platform and 6 situated under the platform), which are situated in all of the four kernels, the shuttering platform together with the bridging construction are being elevated to the respective floor level, where the fruits and vegetables will be cultivated and stored. The bridging construction is connected to the floors and the chambers with the help of wall piers, protruding from the kernels. The mounting is done in the bottom-up direction. Greenhouses situated inside chambers, made entirely of transparent elements, can be situated on the uppermost floor of the skyscraper. The elevator technology used to elevate the chambers for storage and cultivation of fruits and vegetables has been implemented in the design of skyscraper, designed for a competition (sky velodrome - Toronto. Project = 1000001495). The patents used in the design of the project represent an integral part of the dissertation work of the author. The elevation technology is patented as "Structure of a high-rise building and method for its construction" - Patent = 111997 of 29.04.2015. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The use of natural phenomena (fluorescent algae) represents a specific way to improve the shape-forming when designing the interior of new buildings. The unexpected combinations of well-known technical indicators (elevators, aquariums) and new indicators (fluorescent algae in multi-storey transparent elevators) lead to a positive technical effect (the attractive interior lighting of the multi-storey transparent elevators and the floor gardens), as well as to an increased level of originality. The above-mentioned combinations form the patent claims of patent application "Multi-storied panoramic elevator" - BG111889 of 17.12.2014 (Aleksandrov, 2014). The new solution has made a significant contribution to the sustainable development of cities by providing the inhabitants of the tallest buildings with access to the plant and animal world.

The healthy way of life in skyscrapers requires the everyday availability of fresh fruits and vegetables to the inhabitants. It is even more convenient when the produce is cultivated on-site, whereas its production can be realised in close proximity to the individual residences or offices. Furthermore, these internal gardens can be easily connected to storage facilities which are available inside the skyscrapers. To implement this, multi-storey panoramic elevators, equipped with smaller internal elevators and aquariums fi lled with fl uorescent algae can be built. These aquariums can be situated near the shafts of the panoramic elevators. Such a solution is covered by patent application № BG111889 of 17.12.2014. "Multi-storey panoramic elevator" (Aleksandrov et al., 2014). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
