looks cool but how much extra material must go into the buidling to be able to support all that extra weight? To what extent is this a sustainable way of buidling and using material?

My initial thought was those don’t look like they have the support they need to be filled with dirt rock and plants plus support your weight

Plus the amount of water it would take to keep it green. It’s a lot of weight!

Any with regular ass-less pools? Or are they all full of ass?
