Everything green and eco-friendly is at the peak of fashion now.But it is one thing to have houseplants in an apartment or flowers on the wallpaper, and quite another to have huge buildings completely decorated with greenery. Let's see how it looks in practice. Italian architect Stefano Boeri is going to build real vertical forests all over the world. And they will be located not just anywhere, but on super-modern multi-story buildings in civilized cities. Two such towers are expected to appear in the Chinese city of Nanjing in 2018.

The height of the towers will be about 200 and 100 meters,and the architect plans to place more than 1,000 trees and 2,500 thousand shrubs of twenty-three local plant species on them. All this will appear directly on the walls of the buildings, balconies and special projections and will allow visitors to feel like they are on a forest lawn every day. The taller tower will house offices, museums, an architecture school and a club. The lower tower will house a 247-room Hyatt hotel and a rooftop pool.
With the help of his creations Stefano Boeriis going to not only develop architecture, but also influence the ecology of the city and make its flora more diverse. After all, both towers will release about 60 kilograms of oxygen every day! A similar building designed by Boeri will soon be built in Switzerland. And Milan has already got its own eco-tower, the plants on which are placed in such a way that the building changes its color depending on the season and shimmers with all the colors known to nature.
