Interesting idea. Wonder how this will work.

These Pollution-Cleaning Towers In China Will Be The Tallest Skyscrapers In The World
The world’s tallest tower, to be built in Wuhan, China, will be one of the most environmentally friendly skyscrapers anywhere. Paired with a slightly shorter tower, the design seeks to help restore the environment to a healthy balance.
The towers will suck up pollution out of the air and the water from the lakes below. The large tower pulls water up, cleans it through a series of filters and puts it back. The towers also feature pollution absorbing coatings to help clean the air, vertical gardens for added filtration and a chimney that naturally pulls air across the lake for improved ventilation.
All the power used by the towers will be generated by wind turbines, solar technology, hydrogen fuel cells and the building’s own waste. The designers hope that this will set an example for sustainable design in the industrial city.
