Ecopolis is a global city for the future based on the idea of designing a set of highly differentiated sustainable and habitable cells. These primary units are organized into clusters according to program, habitants, and its relationship with the natural world.

Ecopolis façade is equipped with sustainable systems such as solar panels, wind turbines, and rainwater collectors. It is a modular design that grows according to different requirements in a given period of time.

About Sonia La Rosa aka Maya Thor

my name is Sonia La Rosa. I am architect and urban planner, resident in Rome, Italy. I have taught for 10 years at italian Architecture Faculties as Contract Professor: freehand sketching, CAD 2D & 3D, GIS, 3D VR GIS. I am interested in the field of 3D tools and 3D Virtual Worlds applied in project process and post project in architecture and urban planning. In the same time, I explore the different serious uses of 3d immersive platforms in any fileds and I study the effects of Web 2.0. The aim of the research is to understand how these kind of tools and media are influencing the project process and how the needs of the users are influencing the development of these tools.
