Vo Trong Nghia Architects plans leaning, plant-covered towers for Bac Ninh city hall

Vo Trong Nghia Architects has designed a city hall for the Vietnamese city of Bac Ninh comprising a pair of planted towers , which lean together at the centre to frame a series of elevated viewing decks (+ slideshow).
The Vietnamese studio , which is known for its plant-covered architecture and bamboo structures, designed the two verdant blocks for a seven-hectare-site in the centre of the city, which is located in the north of the country.
Named The Green City Hall on account of its planted terraces, the building demonstrates the local government's ambition to develop a more energy-efficient city. It is one of a series of projects by the firm that used planting to express its green credentials .
"The city hall is designed as a vertical park to provide a greener landscape for the city," explained the architects, who conceived the towers as a series of planted observation terraces.
