Недвижимость: justify the shape and the size of them gen.

“It was blatantly iconic,” said Chetwood. “They wanted to take the Eiffel Tower experience on a stage further. It doesn’t just stand there and become an iconic symbol of Wuhan, it has to do a job. We’ve applied as many environmental ideas as we possibly could to justify the shape and the size of them.”

Последнее, не понимаю, о чем речь - "..использовали столько "экологических" идей, сколько могли, чтобы оправдать их форму и размер".

Форму и размер чего?..

Буду очень благодарна за ответ.

Спасибо.

здесь environmental idea - это какое-нибудь пространственное решение

Тут ранее контекст - в предыдущем предложении:

British studio Chetwoods has unveiled a proposal to create the world’s tallest tower in the Chinese city of Wuhan, with a host of environmental functions that will attempt to purify the city’s polluted air and lakes.

“In China if you come up with a slightly mad idea, it’s almost not mad enough,” studio founder Laurie Chetwood told Dezeen. “It’s the opposite of the UK.”

Может, все же "экологических"?

Если же Ваш вариант сохранить, как с формой и размером связать, не пойму. Помогите, пожалуйста)

Спасибо) До меня так и не дошло, но до читающего - да.

А это зачем пропустили?

The tallest of the two towers contains multiple filtration systems for cleaning the water from the lake and the surrounding air as well as solar electricity plants.

Only half of the taller tower will be habitable, with the upper portion devoted to mechanical functions. It is being designed to act as a "thermal chimney", with the top being heated by the sun and drawing cool air up through its filtration systems.

"We will do the same with the water, so the water is drawn up through the tower, it's cleansed and then put back into the lake," explained Chetwood, adding that the height of the tower would play a key part in its functionality.
