The document discusses sky gardens and their role in urban planning. It provides examples of notable sky gardens around the world, including The Agora Garden in Taipei, known for its sustainable design incorporating vertical farming. Bosco Verticale in Milan is highlighted for its mid-air forest of over 700 trees and 11,000 plants that serve to filter air and absorb carbon dioxide. Clear Point Residence in Sri Lanka, slated to be the world's tallest sky garden, aims to significantly reduce energy demands through its thick envelope of greenery. Royal Park in Singapore is praised as one of the world's largest sky gardens relative to building footprint and for achieving zero energy status.

SKY GARDENS DEMANDS VERY HIGH
LEVEL OF SKILL SETS IN
INDENTIFYING THE RIGHT SPECIES
OF PLANTS VISA-VIS WITH PODIUM
AND TERRACE GARDEN.
THE SELECTIVE PLANTS SHOULD
HAVE SMALL LEAVES /FLOWERS
CAPABLE OF RESCUING FORM HIGH
WINDS .THE MORE HARDIER LEAVES
, THE BETTER PROTECTION FROM
HEAVY RAIN FALL FORCE.
THE SELECTIVE TREES SHOULD BE
BUSHY WITH SMALL LEAVES AND
MINIMAL SPREAD OF CANOPY .

THE PROJECT REPRESENTS THE FIRST PIONEER ECO CONSTRUCTION OF TAIWAN BUILT ON SUSTAINABLE MODEL
BUILDING PERFECT SYMBIOSIS BETWEEN HUMAN BEING AND NATURE
THE BUILDING DEMONSTRATES TRUE LIVING ORGANISIM BY ENCOURAGING THE INHABITANTS TO CULTIVATE
VERTICAL FARMING
THE LANDSCAPE CONCEPT FORMS THE EXPRESSION OF SUSPENDED GARDENS ENVELOPING THE ENTIRE BUILDING ,
REPRESENTING AN VERTICAL INHABITED PARK.
THE LANDSCAPE BALCONIES REPRESENTS TWO SPECIFIC CHARACTER IN RELATION TO THE ROTATION OF TOWER .
THE ASCENDING BALCONIES CALLED POSITIVE IS BENIFITTED BY MAXIMUM SUN COVER ENCOURAGING TO GROW
SUBTROPICAL PLANTS
THE DESCENDING BALCONIES CALLED NEGATIVE, LOCATED IN THE HIGHER LEVEL IS PARTIALLY SHADED
ENCOURAGING TO GROW AROMATIC PLANTS, VEGETABLES AND CREEPERS .
THE AGORA GARDEN PROJECT IS A NATURE BUILT FROM THE LIVING THAT FIGHTS FOR
THE RE-NATURALISATION OF ECOPOLIS OF TOMORROW!
