One Central Park is currently the tallest building in Australia, covered with vegetation. Designed by Jean Nouvel and Patrick Black, the 166-meter-high building was built in 2013. The façade of the building is covered with 350 species of plants native to Australia. Their motorized mirrors on the roof reflect the sun’s rays so that the plants in the shadier parts of the building also get enough light. A 15 km stainless steel wire rope and 5,500 planters were used for the green walls.
