The ‘Oasis Towers’, located in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, will ‘offer a refuge for people in a congested and quickly developing sector’.
Some might say that they initially resemble towers that have partially collapsed to the ground.

However, these images depict how two cutting-edge new skyscrapers in China will appear once they are finished.
The two 150 m (492 ft) tall towers of the nature-inspired building serve as both residential and business complexes and are (officially) intended to resemble ‘cliffs’ that are dotted with patches of vegetation.
Between the two 40-story, L-shaped towers, there is a public “green landscape” that resembles a park.
The designers, the Dutch architecture firm MVRDV, claim that the ‘formal, gridded facade’ on two sides of each building is a response to the more conventional office skyscrapers in the vicinity.

The ‘flowing curves’ of the balconies and terraces may be seen on the other sides of the towers. The ‘carefully positioned’ trees located throughout the levels offer additional shade during the warmer months, while the staggered balconies are intended to let in plenty of natural light.
The construction is surrounded by a metro station. Up to the third floor, there are stores and other commercial establishments; higher up, there are residential spaces.
Sustainability has been considered in the complex’s design. Rooftops are “densely planted with a variety of species that help to maximize biodiversity” and are inaccessible to the general population. As part of the building’s greywater recycling system, these roof spaces also have 500 square meters (5,381 square feet) of reed beds that naturally filter and clean water.

The project’s completion date has not yet been disclosed, however MVRDV’s most recent statement affirms that it is currently in the design development stage.
MVRDV is not alone responsible for this creative design project; it also built a peculiar new neighborhood in Amsterdam that is “reminiscent of a carved-out block” and a self-sufficient ‘Valley of Eden’ in Armenia, complete with a huge mirrored sphere.
The company also conceptualized the Marble Arch Mound in London, which was demolished in early 2022, just six months after it debuted, following widespread criticism from the general public.
