Singapore to unveil world's first 'mechanical forest'

That entire project, including the three 55 story towers topped by the worlds first sky park, is being built on a backfilled estuary.

The backfill came from destroying sand islands in the Mekong Delta.

This is not a very eco friendly project.

Natural is still the best, That we should give more attention. Why not focus on mechanized natural forest?

What else can you call this monstrous experiment to twist nature other than The God Tree -- something designed not to work in harmony with nature but, as human ego demands, have dominion over the planet: Just as religions like Christianity say it mankind's right?

It's not fully explained how these trees are supposed to work. But, I imagine that one could use climbing vines that would slowly make their way up these structures. Vine growth is not that easily controlable. So if this is what they have in mind it will surely keep a lotta gardeners busy pruning and controling their propagation. Good luck with all that.

What a great idea! It's really impressive ...but very expensive project. russian women
