Everything green and environmentally friendly is now at the height of fashion.But it's one thing - indoor plants in an apartment or flowers on the wallpaper, and quite another - huge buildings, completely decorated with greenery. Let's see how it looks in practice. Italian architect Stefano Boeri is going to build real vertical scaffolding all over the world. And they will be located not just anywhere, but on ultra-modern high-rise buildings in civilized cities. Two such towers should appear in the Chinese city of Nanjing in 2018.

All this will appear right on the walls of buildings, balconies and special ledges and will make visitors feel like they are on a forest lawn every day. The higher 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 Boeri is goingnot only to develop architecture, but also to influence the ecology of the city and make its flora more diverse. After all, both towers will emit about 60 kilograms of oxygen every day! A similar building designed by Boeri will soon begin to be erected in Switzerland. And in Milan, its own eco-tower has already appeared, the plants on which were placed in such a way that the building changes its color depending on the season and shimmers with all the colors known to nature.
