    Where the fuck are the tree roots supposed to go, into the first floor ducting? This is such slap-together tech utopianist masturbation. And I'm someone who loves buildings that are designed to be covered in plant life. I'm Mr Fucking Solarpunk over here. But the architects sure aren't, and I doubt they'll understand the needs or benefits of whichever plant species they end up using, or choose them based on anything but aesthetics, and that's how you get a neglected bullshit garden that eventually just gets ripped out and replaced with a boring concrete terrace containing the same two coffee and snack places that grow from spores on boring concrete terraces across the world.

      Do you like it for the actual building shape, or for the greenery? I kinda like it simply because I'm a sucker for just adding some plants into the design of a space or building, but the shape isn't all that appealing to me.

        I mean the greenery definitely is doing a lot of work and without it wouldn't look that great, but the shape is ok, at least is not one of those boring ass rectangular high rises

      Doesn't matter. If it dies you can order a new one with free one-day shipping from Amazon Tree™.

      They're harvested from the actual Amazon. :bolso-joker: :lord-bezos-amused:

    Yeah sure don't make use of all the available air space you own just so your building can look like a spiral
