“La Tour des Cedres“

Lausana, Switzerland

The article is about a building that would be constructed in Lausana for 2017, but is not a regular building...Is the first building covered with Cedres plantation!! Was created by the italian architecture Stefano Boeri; in the past he had created a house covered with 150 trees and a cathedral with trees. But this time, he decided to make a building with trees.
The building is going to be 117 meters height and would have 36 floors. Also, it would be covered of Cedrus trees which have the caracteristic of being durable. This plant has the capacity of supporting extreme climate changes, it can be found in the Middle East, and in the Himalaya too.
And it will help to: trap dust, muffle outside noise, strong wind gusts, release additional oxygen into the city, and create more pleasant views for those living.

I love that the people try to do something to contribute to the environment! And that the architectures are finding a way to construct buildings but first thinking in the environment, how the buildings would affect it, and how are they gonna contribute to protect it instead just killing it.

It is so amazing to think how Stefano Boeri imagined this building and what he is doing to complete his project. Because he looks like a very punctillious man, in the article says that the building would be home of 100 trees, 6,000 shrubs and 18,000 plants.

I like that it has so many advantages, and I love that in some way is contributing to the environment. Because we know that we have produced over the lasts years a lot of carbon dioxide and toxics and stuff, and this new plan of creating green-buildings is so original, helpful, and crucial for the environment. And also the fact that has advantages too for the people living there, like I said before, it would trap dust, muffle outside noise, strong wind gusts, release additional oxygen into the city, and create more pleasant views for those living.
