Interesting. Not sure if I like the look of the walls...looks like a lot of moss to me, lol! But I think it is a cool concept and when the video showed all of that concrete on the bridges and stuff I really thought it was a neat idea to soften it. And with little space, going up seems to be a good choice! Thanks for sharing!

I love the idea that of using the green on the outside of the building. I have to believe it will help keep the building cooler. I too am interested in know what it looks like in the winter.

Very nteresting.  I had never seen anything like this before.  I was thinking the same thing abt winter.  I don hope this is constructed well so it doesn't do damage to the structure underneath.

Debbie - the video is short, and the structure is set off the face, hydroponic water runs down, recycles up and runs just through felt mesh, no dirt. roots are short as water is constant.
