Angelo Renna Designs Artificial Sponge Mountain to Absorb CO2 in Turin
Amsterdam-based architect Angelo Renna has designed a 90 meter high artificial 'sponge mountain' made to absorb CO2 in Turin, Italy. Formed from soil excavated from the construction site of the railway tunnel connecting Turin to Lyon, the mountain aims to improve air pollution through engineered soil. Mixing sand and concrete, the man-made mountain is designed as a green landmark for the city.

Combining the idea of environmental impact with space for leisure, Renna's Sponge Mountain would create a new recreation area in Turin for the public to exercise, relax or see the city. With a surface of 11 hectares, the mountain would rise above the cityscape and provide views across Turin. The proposal builds off the idea that the construction of the TAV railway will created 6 tons of soil and utilizing the stored calcium carbonate.
