Double-helix structure in Taipei
Designed by renowned Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut, Agora Garden is a breathtaking example of innovative architecture, futuristic design and sustainable construction. The fascinating residential high-rise in the Taiwanese capital Taipei was designed with a special façade construction from Schüco.

Vertical urban forest
The large balconies are striking and parts of them are exposed to the open air thanks to the double-helix construction (each storey rotated by 4.5° and 90° overall). The 20,000 planted trees and bushes can grow and thrive here. The greenery not only provides an impressive appearance, but also improves the air quality and regulates the temperature inside the building.

Reduced energy consumption
In addition to the lush greenery, the building has a number of innovative, ecological functions, including regenerative lifts that generate energy when they move and solar collectors on the roof. All of the water that is consumed in the building is recycled and reused. There is also a vertical waste water treatment system. All of these features make the Agora Garden one of the most sustainable buildings in the world.
