Planet has been swallowed by the concrete of enormous metropolises. One of the ways to fight back and evoke the beauty that nature holds can be found within the 288 pages of the book titled “Evergreen Architecture: Overgrown Buildings and Greener Living”. Published by Gestalten, for the price of $60, you’ll get 288 pages full of ideas and tricks on how to design green roofs, living walls, indoor courtyards, and entire facades filled with plants. As it may seem to be a great solution, it poses a lot of problems as well. You can learn about keeping moss-covered walls alive, or even the physics of hundreds of trees weighing on atop the skyscraper. Jungle Architecture analyses rural and urban structures that have any or many connections to their surrounding environments. Super exciting!
