Hi all, i’m from South Africa. Durban in particular, now living in Cape Town, studying MLA at University of Cape Town finish in 2010 when the soccer starts. it’s going to be massive. Come visit us, cmon you know you wanna!!!

I just moved to New Zealand from Shanghai, It is good to join this group for sharing experience working in China

Check 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.

At your request Jonathon I am going to attach one of my recent plan view renderings for your evaluation of its strengths and weaknesses….I would like comments from whomever has some input….good or bad…..It will be in the above discussions…
