This design will be based on Schuster Park in Queensland, Australia at 26 degrees south latitude. The building envelops and fiber optic tubes are filled with green fluorescent proteins; the size of the module opening and closing will be adjusted according to the absorption rate of ultraviolet light and can emit light at night. This design aims to solve the harm caused by excessive ultraviolet radiation.
