This twisted carbon-eating tower is rising in the East

The Tao Zhu Yin Yuan, designed by Vincent Callebaut Architectures, is expected to be completed in September 2017. Scroll through the gallery to see the Tao Zhu Yin Yuan's design as well as other spiraled skyscrapers from around the world.
Paris-based architect Vincent Callebaut wants his buildings to be more than your average tower block. His vision is ambitious: create an energy-saving, carbon-absorbing civilization to fight global warming.
"I want to give hope for a better tomorrow," he says. One of his eco-friendly ideas is taking root right now in Taipei, Taiwan's capital city. When Tao Zhu Yin Yuan -- meaning "The Retreat of Tao Zhu" -- is completed in September 2017, the residential complex will be covered in 23,000 trees and shrubs.
The tower, rotating 4.5 degrees at every level, allows for panoramic views of Taipei's skyline, and each view from four surrounding streets proposes four different profiles.

Applying ancient Taiji philosophy about the natural world, its structure is in double helix form of DNA, which is a symbol of life and dynamism. "A modern healthy feng shui (concept) was created by employing natural elements to generate a breathing building and to ensure the mental and physical health of residents," says Callebaut.
