Supertrees, Gardens by the Bay, Singapore
These supertrees are extremely difficult to built. National Geography made a documentary on this before. The vegetation on these supertrees are taken from all over the world. During the day, they act as canopy but during the night, they transform into magical lights display. The architect for this got his inspiration from the eucalyptus trees in an Australian National Park.
One of the supertrees actually act as a chimney for discharge of a nearby fuel generator for the cooling system of the flower dome.
The supertrees here is said to be the only ones in the world.
Really good thinking there.
