Summary:

China has a problem with clean air, but an architect named Stefano Boeri plans to solve that by building buildings with trees and shrubs all over to produce oxygen while reducing the number of carbon dioxide. The plants can also capture dust particles, block noise, and acts as a wind screen to help make life easier for residents of these buildings. The first to open is the Forest Mountain hotel opening this fall. Although he plans to open three of these forest buildings, he knows it is not enough to solve China's air problems, he plans to also make wood buildings that run on solar power or wind energy. This is what this architect is trying to create to solve the air problems in China.
