dear designboom reader,

recent skyscraper designs elevate natural landscapes with lush vegetation to soaring heights. underscoring singapore’s reputation as a garden city, bjarke ingels and carlo ratti's biophilic 'capitaspring' skyscraper houses more than 80,000 plants on its base, core, and rooftop.

in tokyo's shibuya ward, snøhetta pays tribute to mount fuji with a set of stepping green terraces that add a sense of peace and relaxation to its 'shibuya upper west project' tower. finally, set to become one of the most sustainable office buildings in germany, UNstudio's NION office tower features a vertical 'green slit' spanning its entire height.

thanks for reading!
