Amazing indeed. In the South End of Boston where I live and work, there are a number of buildings that could benefit from such installations.
The renovation of the 19th-century electrical plant into a social and cultural center at the center of Madrid’s museum district with a living wall (designed by Blanc) that spans about 1,500 square feet and features some 250 species of plants is an exraordniary architectural work. The use of moss in living walls is an environamentally sound and eco-friendlt approach to impacting the aestetics of a community. Regards,JW Design
Just Amazing!
