A "thermal chimney" that accumulates heat from the sun will be incorporated into the center of the taller tower. It will then extract air from across the lakes and apply it to lower the temperature in the buildings.



Subsequently, the air will be filtered and blended back into the environment but cleaner than before. A similar process will be done with the water, cleansing it and putting it back.



In the taller tower, a kaleidoscope powered by a wind turbine will be a distinct addition to the structure. The integration of photovoltaic panels will help generate electricity for the building and the district.



The smaller tower will highlight the world's tallest vertical garden, also referred to as "green wall", which ascends to the top of the building.



Enormous celestial orbs where restaurants and viewing platforms are to be put up will be constructed between the two towers.



The structure's design has been anchored in Chinese culture with a phoenix representing symbiosis with "one feeding off the other for the benefit of all", said Chetwood.



Vibrant pink lights will also be used to make the towers glow. Construction will begin in 2016 once approved by the city government.
