ArchDaily has published photos of Vincent Callebaut Architectures’ under-construction Tao Zhu Yin Yuan sustainable tower. Rising in the Xinjin District of Taipei, the tower features a rotating form that draws inspiration from the double-helix structure of DNA and, the source stated, “is to be covered in 23,000 trees in its aim to become a pioneering sustainable residential eco-construction that finds the right symbiosis between the human being and Nature.” It is to be completed in September.
