Two very cool items picked from my favourite aggregator, ArchNewsNow.
First, from Wired, the greenwalls of Patrick Blanc. Here’s one inside the Taipai Concert Hall:
Lots more pictures in the article.
Also, the coolest tourist info centre in the world, or at least New York (same thing, I suppose).
What the centre does and how it does it is way cooler than the pic above. Check it out here – and be sure to watch the video.
I love green walls. How about covering BC Place concrete in more ivy??? I love the areas currently covered. Imagine the whole base (except doors and windows, of course) enveloped in green? Too bad we couldn’t do it for the Olympics but I imagine it would take 3 years or more to create a decent amount of coverage.
