Designed by Kenneth Loh and Michelle Lim, the Eco-Tower Building is designed with climate change in mind. The solar-powered building is hollowed out, which draws all the hot air the building produces up and out the top of the building, drawing cooler air from the bottom--an all-natural air ventilation process.
The Eco-Tower building is a bit of a mix between a vertical garden and a solar building. The entire building will house a combination of offices, residential apartments, commercial zones, and growing space. The building is a great concept for green living.
