Activity
Archenergia specializes in symbiotic energy systems design.

Approaches
Multiple energy-generating approaches are combined symbiotically into systemic concepts that can be used
throughout the architectural process.

Applications
Include inertial energy capture and storage, smart building materials, non-focal lighting, solar, bio and
energy-neutral systems.

Use

The Veliero Project (Arch:657)
Today the company is concentrated on the design of a semi-floating city powered by hydrostatic equilibrium
theories as hypothesized by Galileo, Archimedes and Leonardo.
The city can be scaled to different sizes and functions as a self-contained urban entity.
It can be placed on water or on land or on reclaimed areas.
Most elements of the city can be industrially and economically pre-fabricated.
