lost in paris house by r&sie architects is a really interesting next step in living walls...

ferns.



 

 

the ferns are fed drop by drop through 300 glass beakers full of especially prepared bacterial chemical culture mix while rainwater is collected to water the plants. 

... "R&Sie’s Francois Roche explains: 'all our projects are based on a similar protocol; they touch the boundaries of architecture. It takes off from a typically ecological approach, but goes beyond that. People are always curious when they walk by but sometimes they find the system creepy, or even dangerous to some; it is a game of attraction and repulsion."

i love it and think it'd be wonderful to live in.

and on the subject of paris... i'm still really stuck on this song.
