Due to begin construction in Singapore shortly is this super eco-friendly skyscraper that features a living wall of plants (video below).
Looking more like an advertisement for When Plants Attack!, the EDITT tower (Ecological Design in the Tropics) was designed by TR Hamzah & Yeang as a substitute to the glass-dominated façade of the city.
Plants will make up about half of the building, while ramps will connect it to nearby shops and offices so garden lovers can pop by for a visit.
Since it can get rainy in Singapore, the building will collect rainwater and use a grey-water system to flush loos and water plants.
It is to be built with recycled materials and to feature photovoltaics that will provide almost 40% of the building's energy needs (see full specifications here).
Let's hope none of the office workers suffer with hayfever.
