Extraordinary “Green Machine” mobile city fertilizes the Sahara Desert as it moves

Posterity may end up migrating from place to place to find food like our nomadic ancestors did if we don’t get a hold of desertification and climate change. To make that easier for desert dwellers, Stephane Malka and Yachar Bouyaha proposed the Green Machine – a massive city on tank treads that fertilizes the Sahara as it moves.

Originally entered into a competition as the Morrocan pavilion for the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale and selected for the Jury special prize, The Green Machine rethinks our future survival in the desert – albeit in a wild and wacky way.
