Veg.itecture 17 years, 7 months agoCheck out Jason’s review on Patrick Blanc’s new book The Vertical Garden.
And I have to agree, it is indeed quite fabulous and I am not at all disappointed. If nothing else, it is worth it to see the pictures of Mr. Blanc himself perched over a waterfall with his green hair.

DESIGN 17 years, 9 months agoFor me great design is:
1. Creating memory places
2. Creating a sense of place (genus loci)
3. Guardian of identity
4. Interest of users health, safety and welfare
