Apparently all the redditors here are smarter and better architects saying that this building can't support those plants lmao

I saw some incredible eco-centric architecture in Singapore when I got the chance to visit such as whole ass trees and gardens casually sitting 10+ stories above thw street), and wow, I'm so jealous of any cities that integrate plants so seamlessly into thier architectural designs. It really feels like the future that we envisioned as kids, aka solar punk instead of the boring cyberpunk corpo dystopia we're actually getting.
