Cars are parked, or stacked, in futuristic towers that ‘blossom’ upwards to accommodate roof gardens and entertainment facilities. The roof provides shade and shelter to the ground level plaza in a ‘canopy of trees’ . The porous cladding creates a see-through effect of the automated parking system within the towers, while simultaneously letting light into the building and acting as a natural ventilation system.
