I think this is a "outlet building" in morfological way...too much rectilinear means far from nature, but i like. Some people think that use nature for wrapping nature is very easy, it is like a topic. I dont think so, using brick or concret is more habitual but that people dont realised it...may be they dont want. The main think for this cover is how to build this vegegtal layer , i designed one type in my last project, here you can find an insustrial posibility vey interesting http://www.intemper.com/

I wish cities come to appear a lot of vegetal wraped by everywhere.

verner's chair's biomorph design doesn't really fit into that bulky orthogonal blain. ive never seen a vertical wall in nature that is covered with grass. when those 'architects' try to emulate nature why not in a way that nature really behaves?
i wish people would put more effort in a project before they showcase it.
