Blanc Goes Big

Recently posted on Architecture & Design, uber veg.itect Patrick Blanc is at it again, implementing his tallest living wall in Sydney Australia. Coming in at a mere 33 stories (150 meters) in height this one, albeit newly planted, is going to be stunning.

From the site: "Renowned French botanist, Patrick Blanc, has created his tallest vertical garden at a residential development in Sydney’s inner west. However, the 33-storey north-facing green wall is merely a “practice run” for Blanc’s even bigger installation planned as part of the $2 billion Central Park development at the former Carlton Brewery site on Broadway. The living artwork, currently installed at Frasers Property’s Trio development in Camperdown, uses 4,528 native Australian plants from 69 different species that are fed by a grey-water, dripper-irrigation system."
