From the Publisher: Evergreen Architecture – Overgrown Buildings and Greener Living Nature and architecture have become increasingly intertwined as more of the earth's surface is covered by the built environment. Architects are now tasked with integrating flora and greenery into their creations, whether through green roofs, living walls, indoor courtyards, or entire facades filled with plants. However, while these solutions are posed, they also bring forth new questions. How can a skyscraper support the weight of hundreds of trees? How can residents keep moss-covered walls alive? Evergreen Architecture seeks to explore these questions and more. According to Hypebeast, the publication raises logistical questions about maintaining these buildings, beyond just being filled with nice pictures to look at.
