International Skyrise Greenery Conference

A roundabout pathway to the IFLA site led me to the annoucement of the International Skyrise Greenery Conference happening in Singapore from November 1-3, 2010. The focus will be on rooftop gardens, green roofs, and vertical green walls... sounds lovely.

The keynotes are a veritable who's who of Vegitecture: "ISGC will feature multiple award-winning experts such as Emilio Ambasz from the US, hailed as “The Messiah” of green architecture; Patrick Blanc from France, the inventor of the vertical greenery concept; and Dr. Ken Yeang from the UK, one of the foremost designers and a recognised authority on ecologically-responsive architecture and planning"

Lots of other great presentations and research. Wish I would have heard about his earlier - because Singapore sounds lovely this time of year.
