Introducing natural surroundings to urban topography, the MAD Architects have popped up a high-rise building, the Urban Forest, which seems to uplift both the environment as well as economy of the area. Situated in Chongqing, China, the commercial structure features curved, abstracted shaped floors connected by a core cylindrical structure. Almost all the floors incorporate green spaces to create a natural environment throughout the structure. The floors enveloped in full length glass windows with a see-through, wrap around balcony have been layered off-center (to some extent) from one another, giving it an appearance of a floating structure. The see-through facades of the structure create an amazing vision for both the people within and outside.
