上海
An open-air commercial atrium precedent featuring biophilic tree columns, cascading planted balconies, and a central water feature, useful for ecological retail and public realm design.
- What we like about this project
- Branching structural columns double as vertical garden trellises carrying vegetation up multiple stories.
