Callebaut specialises in futuristic ecodistrict projects which focus on sustainability issues such as renewable energies, biodiversity, and urban agriculture.

He graduated from the Institute of Victor Horta in 2000 and moved to Paris for an internship with architects Odile Decq and Massimiliano Fuksas.

Callebaut envisions these towers as allowing for a traditional commercial and residential space to exist alongside large-scale vertical farms.

[4] Ideally, Callebaut envisions that every resource produced within the tower would be recycled in a continuous auto-feeding loop with no material loss.

The spaces between the tower's 'wings' would accumulate warm air in the structure during cool weather, minimising expenditure on heating systems throughout the building.

[4] Callebaut lists the objectives of the Dragonfly project as: The Lilypad, or the Floating ecopolis, is based on the idea of creating a place for future refugees of current sea level rise caused by global warming.

[1] Formerly called "Agora Garden", Vincent Callebaut designed a tower for Taipei promoting vertical construction in an overpopulated city.

[6] Agora Garden was planned as twenty levels in a double helix formation, with a total twist from bottom to the top of ninety degrees.

It is a multi-use complex of 450,000 square metres (4,843,759.69 sq feet) with housing, workspaces, and sports facilities with a rooftop garden.
