The Grove Towers in Mumbai, India were designed by 3XN and construction completed in 2013. This design was meant to mimic India’s mangroves as evident by the vertical gardens at the base of each tower.  These garden stretch over 2500 m high and function to reduce the carbon dioxide in the air. Additionally, the way the towers grow into the sky was meant to mimic a cluster of slender trees. This, I assume, would be another example of biomimicry. The Grove Towers are residential spaces that include a pool, gym, and a club house and rooms include views in at least two directions: many have a visual of the mangroves to the North and others see the Indian Ocean to the West. The building’s multiple corners introduce the ability for cross ventilation which reduces the need for air conditioning. The sheer presence and appearance of the structure completely alter the surrounding landscape.
