ArabiaWeather.com - The idea of cleaning the air by skyscrapers is no longer impossible, especially for the Chinese! It is expected that the "Phoenix" towers, which are one kilometer high, will be able to clean the air around them in the capital of Hubei Province, Luhan, in central China , which will be completed in 2018, to become the tallest buildings in the world, and the most environmentally friendly towers in the world.

The principle of the work of these two towers is based on a filter to purify the air and water in the surrounding area, and this project is not only an engineering plan, but also an environmental plan, in order to preserve the lakes in the region, according to Laurie Chitwood, director of the British "Sheet Woods" company.

With regard to the design of the towers, it was inspired by nature, as a "thermal chimney" will be built in the middle of the taller tower, which will be powered by solar energy, i.e. as a filter to draw and purify the air from the lakes and use it to cool the two buildings, and then release it back into the atmosphere after purification.

The project is still awaiting final approval by the government, and if things go according to the approved plan, the construction of the two towers may be completed before the completion of the construction of the Kingdom Tower in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which was also designed to reach a height of one kilometer in the year 2019. .

The design of the two towers was inspired by duality in Chinese culture and the traditional Chinese symbol of the phoenix, which is called "Feng" and "Huang", as well as the idea of yin and yang.

The larger tower will include the tallest kaleidoscope driven by wind turbines (a kaleidoscope is a tube of mirrors containing colored beads, pebbles, and other small colored objects, as lights reflect off the mirrors).

It is expected that the two towers will feature green spaces such as roofs that absorb pollution to filter the air in the city, as well as technology to ventilate and filter water.

Thermal chimneys, suspended gardens, etc. will also be used for waste recycling, as well as the towers producing enough energy to meet their own needs and the interests of neighboring regions.
