Patrick Blanc's uses vertical botanical gardens to create sustainable, growing fusions between nature and architecture. Using his extensive knowlege in botany, Blanc has meticulously hand selected plants to create harmonious systems dependant on optimum environmental factors i.e. rainfal, wind direction and sunlight exposure. As it outlines in the passage on the previous post it isn't only the delicate nature of the plants used but also a great emphasis on maintaining the integrity of the building's themselves.
I fully intend to journey to Paris to see Patrick Blanc's work. Similarly with the work I create using living plants images alone are not enough to carry the true beauty of the physical qualities of the work. I need to see his work.
