Sky Garden

This 130m skyscraper has been approved for building in London, but unlike “dead” conventional buildings, the Sky Garden includes plans for two three-story gardens to be built inside it.

The idea is to “create a space for social interaction” and “foster micro communities,” which sounds like a neat way of combining green eco-friendliness and dense urban buildings. The gardens will cover about 2,500 square meters in total: a significant proportion of the building to give up from your normal retail/accommodation space. And it’s just going to be way cool to take a stroll in the “park” in your own building.
