British Columbia's Forests Ministry has entered into a memorandum of understanding with the Chinese government to boost research, development and promotion of modern wood construction in creating green buildings in China. The five-year agreement, which is not legally binding, also involves the federal Department of Natural Resources and is among the first reached with Beijing after the arrival of Prime Minister Mark Carney in China this week.

The building features a vast green façade, regarded as one of the largest in Europe, wrapped in over 30,000 hornbeam plants, creating a stunning green pyramid.
