plants in urban life

This might be irrelevant with my thesis project, but I enjoy seeing plants submersed(?) within urban life. I also want to plant something in my window.




I went to the open studio in eyebeam, and was pretty amazed to see this planting system designed appropriate for farming in urban life. It uses hydroponic planting.







The musee du quai branly in Paris, which was designed by architect Jean Nouvel is awesome. The whole facade of a building is covered with plants like moss.






When I went to siggraph 2009, New Orleans, the project "Biological Instrumentation" by
Nina Tommasi was interesting, in terms of using real life within media art.
