That's a pretty nice transit center, as far as transit centers go. I wonder how much water those plants require though considering Arizona is a dry area. I saw on one of your recommended website links that there's a company that works with moss instead of plants for green walls. I haven't seen any moss covered walls shown on your blog though.
ReplyDeleteThe picture above is not actually a living wall, I wish it was. I was really inspired by the dynamic form. But, it is actually a photoshopped picture of the rugged countryside in Japan. This square mesh is used to secure the earth adjacent to highly traveled roads due to the often occurrence of earthquakes.
ReplyDeleteI was reading Patrick Blanc's Vertical Garden book and came across a similar picture with a sited location. If you are more interested: Blanc, P., & Lalot, V. (2008). The vertical garden: From nature to the city. New York: W.W. Norton. Pg.76-77 Image/ description #5.
