I read about Patrick Blanc’s Vertical Garden in this weekend’s New York Times Magazine. It seems like America is all about eco and green now days, and I thought nothing would blow me away at this point. But it did. It’s such a simple concept, but such a wonderful concept. So fresh and new. Wow! Here is the future of city living.

The concept is great. It would be nice to see the buildings in my city having vertical gardens on the facades. That would certainly give live to the otherwise mundane and boring concrete as well as steel structures.

I truly wish that more developers start utilizing this kind of incorporation of nature into their structures. A greening of any downtown area is SO essential! They’ve found that it helps to reduce the carbon in the air by naturally absorbing it and creating more oxygen. Nature is so keen. Sometimes I truly believe that we humans are just not worthy!

Greening it up will also help insulate buildings and reduce the use of airconditioning, thereby reducing greenhouse gasses. Now how do we get dirt to stick to our walls???

spectacular. So interesting to mix modern arch with greenery. Very cool contrast.
