Singapore's Biometric Trees

Business Insider writes about Singapore's Biometric Trees.

"To develop its Marina Bay area, Singapore is building 18 'supertrees' as tall as 164 feet as part of a mulit-million project called Gardens by the Bay. The artificial forest will open to the public on June 29.

The trees will also generate solar power, collect rainwater and cool the buildings in the area. There will even be an aerial walkway between some of the trees to provide citizens and tourists with spectacular views of Singapore's downtown district."

The trees will be lit in various colors from vibrant reds browns and oranges to a cooler silver and pink scheme copy
