This week on Dezeen, design studio Oxman revealed designs for a conceptual skyscraper formed of a stack of planted platforms.
Named Eden Tower, the structure was designed using a system devised by the studio called "ecological programming", which aims to optimise green architecture.
The project was unveiled at the opening of Neri Oxman's Foster + Partners-designed studio in Midtown Manhattan, which houses a production workshop and wet lab.
In architecture news, the Pan Pacific Orchard skyscraper in Singapore by architecture studio WOHA was named the world's best new tall building by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.
Located in the city's Orchard Road district, the 23-storey hotel features four planted terraces that punctuate the building's form.
The building was described by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat as "a hotel in nature" and was chosen for its demonstration of Singapore's sustainable vision.
This week also saw a series of structures unveiled by leading architects including Álvaro Siza, Fosters + Partners and Sou Fujimoto.
In Spain, Siza completed the three-storey Colien House, which is defined by its orange-tinted concrete structure embedded into a hill in Barcelona, while Fosters + Partners completed a vaulted timber addition to Bodegas Faustino winery in Oyón.
Meanwhile, in Reims, France, Fujimoto added a stone pavilion fronted by a curved glass facade to champagne house Maison Ruinart's historic site.
