Last weeks lecturers were both from the faculty of Landscape Architecture and all their discussion about the preservation of natural landscapes and German garden's has had me wondering how we can enjoy the benefits of landscapes in spite of our cold winters and our urban context. Amin Taha Architects have come up with a solution. Their vertical gardens bring 'outdoor' landscapes into the urban setting with their community garden towers. We have had a lot of discussion within this blog group about vertical farming so I was pleased to stumble on this article about vertical gardens. I like the idea of bringing the natural environment indoors not necessarily to farm, but merely for people to enjoy. Within these towers the benefits of a garden can be enjoyed year round. How refreshing it would be to stroll through a sky garden, to see plants growing and flowers blooming in the heart of the winter chill (as Madi would say).
