We have come up with the idea of a cubical form which is an element of a one big organism producing energy from the sun. What is the most important, each element will be detachable, so everyone will be able to take it home and use stored energy (as the light or electricity) for free. When the energy from the cube is completely used, we can change the source, attaching an old cube to “the tree” allowing it to recharge and take the new one. The whole process of changing cubes is encouraging people to leave their houses and meet others on the way, so the social ties are tightening. Our tree can eventually become an urban landmark.
