Vertical Garden Patrick Blanc

Grass-Walled and Green-Roofed Parking Garage for Toyko The two-story parking garage would take the place of a ground level parking lot, thus doubling the amount of available parking. Cheungvogl estimates that infrastructural investment to build the garage would more than pay for themselves through increased revenue from the additional spots. Not only green and gorgeous on the outside, but the inside parking garage walls and pillars would be painted by young artists as a sort of living museum, and the harsh fluorescent lighting characteristic of these lots would be replaced with more cheerful neon lights. In feudal times in Japan, the creation public parks and garden spaces was banned by the leaders, as such, public parks in Tokyo come at a premium. This new typology for the parking garage could infuse extra green space into the city by elevating a public park to the rooftop while also giving way to a more efficient green roofed structure. + Cheungvogl Via WAN

(via zhenzhudadj) Ziegert | Roswag | Seiler  Architekten Ingenieure Tu huerto a punto en 8 pasos Huertos de buen tamaño y tradicionales Si el espacio no es un problema, puedes utilizar mesas de plantación en el suelo. Tienen más fondo y capacidad para aumentar el número y las especies de tu huerto. Además, te permiten cultivar hortalizas que crecen a lo alto como tomateras, guisantes y judías. Las camas de cultivo, cercos de madera sin fondo que se colocan directamente sobre el terreno, son otra opción para disfrutar de un huerto tradicional con una imagen ordenada. Para favorecer el drenaje y la profundización de las raíces es conveniente retirar la capa de hierba y apoyar la cama sobre la tierra desnuda.

Living Wall at Nova Scotia Community College [VIDEO] « World Landscape Architect Dartmouth, NS – A living, breathing example of innovation is growing at Nova Scotia Community College’s (NSCC) Centre for the Built Environment at the Waterfront Campus in Dartmouth. Earlier today, NSCC president Dr. Joan McArthur-Blair helped students complete the first, permanent, exterior “living wall” east of Vancouver. “This living wall demonstrates the capacity of the Centre for the Built Environment to help Nova Scotians study the renewable energy and green technologies that are essential to our sustainable future,” said Dr. Living walls combine the natural and built environments. The 7,000 plants that make up NSCC’s living wall offer a variety of colours, textures, flowers and berries, providing a living piece of art that will change with the seasons.
