Paris Flower Tower

 The identity of the paris is the great Eifel Tower. It is one of the seven wonders of the world. The word Eifel Tower reminds everyone about Paris. But now a new identity has been created for Paris. It is to improve the health of world by reducing the global warming. It is made by building a tower of 10 floors with  plants in all floors.           
This tower contain 380 pots of bamboo on ten stories, the building itself is almost invisible behind its herbaceous curtain. It is situated on the edge of the jardin Claire Motte in the 17th arrondissement, and was designed to be a vertical extension of this space, both for those in the garden and those living in the building. The pots cannot be moved and are fixed to an automatic watering system (using recycled rain water) .

Bamboo was chosen because it is a hardy and fast growing plant, but also because it makes a noise in the wind, "giving the impression to those inside that they are sleeping in a tree" explains Edouard François.

The plants cover three sides of the building, with the northern face (hidden from the sun) displaying plain concrete in a curious grey/white blend that gives it an unfinished look. According to the architect, this was a deliberate choice as he wanted to create a ying and yang effect between the attractive and the ugly, and also to provide something raw that would make the plants look more glamourous in contrast.

The interior of the building was also carefully designed. There is no entrance hall, but instead a glass elevator facing out from the building towards the park (through the bamboo) takes residents up to each floor (although presumably there is also a fire escape staircase somewhere) . Secondly, a complete lack of internal supporting walls means that inhabitants can change and adapt their apartments as they wish.
