Around the world, architects are designing some pretty mind-boggling structures, including ultra modern green skyscrapers.
At Trend Hunter, we cover some of the most innovative architecture projects around the world, both those already standing and those only in their concept stages. In recent years, a trend we've taken note of is building with eco-conscious intention, resulting in some of the featured green skyscrapers which integrate features like solar panels and green roofs. Check out the slideshow above to see some of the eco structures creating buzz around the world.
