Architecture lovers now have the ability to bankroll (“steamroll,” if you will) the finishing touch on Bjarke Ingels Group’s energy plant/ski slope hybrid in Copenhagen—a vapor ring-belching chimney.
Ingels and firm partner Jakob Lange launched a Kickstarter campaign last week to raise $15,000 to finance the final prototype for what they claim will be the world’s first steam ring generator. The smokestack will use excess steam from the BIG-designed Amager Resource Center (ARC)—set to be the world’s cleanest waste-to-energy plant—to eject a 70-foot-wide vapor ring for every ton of carbon dioxide it incinerates.
“By sweeping nothing under the carpet, but rather projecting our carbon footprint onto the Copenhagen sky, we provide every single citizen intuitive information to help them inform the decisions they make for their lives and for the city that they want to live in,” the campaign’s website states. “You will be a part of history.”

This is strangely cool. I am almost tempted. There is a little video in the article.
