Award Winning Architect & Innovator Stephano Boeri's Tree Towers
A vertical forest is being built in Nanjing, China.  Two towers that will be loaded with trees, shrubs and plants are underway.  This is the invention of  award winning Italian architect Stefano Boeri. Nanjing Towers 1 is 656 feet tall with offices, a museum and green architectural school.  Tower 2 is a 354 foot tall Hyatt Hotel. The towers are seated on a 66 foot structure with shops and restaurants  The towers will be loaded with 1,000 trees and 250 shrubs and plants.  The greenery is selected for optimizing oxygen production to clean the air.  The promise is they will absorb 18 tons of carbon dioxide and contribute 16 tons of oxygen to the air per year.

Green, Environmentally Friendly Growing Trend - Green Architecture
There is growing international interest in the urban forest architectural concept.  Today, a developer in Toronto announced plans to build a vertical forest condo building, comprised of 27 stories and 500 trees.  Boeri has a number of other projects underway in China.  There is also interest in constructing vertical forests in the US, Europe and Australia.

Greener, Cleaner Building Innovation
This concept is elegantly simple innovation to reduce air pollution and beautify living spaces.  Being surrounded by nature's green plants and trees makes the atmosphere cleaner and improves the quality of life.  For Nanjing China residents, on a good day, the smog rate exceeds 68.  Vertical forests are bound to improve their environment.
