For eons, walls of greenery have surrounded people and creatures living in jungles, rainforests and other lush places.
weve seen inventive uses of built outdoor space including rooftops, patios and balconies as places to bring more green into our overly concrete-covered lives. Smudging the line between indoors and outdoors, and playing with the illusion of greenery where it doesnt really belong, are also the basis of some recent installations that we like.
Green walls are not just visually interesting and environmentally beneficial, they add a sense of calm and peace that is difficult to achieve by other means. The inclusion of real, living plants on a large scale in places where you dont expect to see them, also adds other sensory elements the scent of the greenery, the sound of water, perhaps the feeling of humidity around the installation.
