From November 9-12th 2011, at Sydney's National Maritime Museum, will be held the 5th Annual Greening Cities Conference. Patrick Blanc, the man who designed "The Vertical Garden", will be a guest speaker and the conference will be focusing on building more vertical gardens and rooftop gardens throughout the city centre.
The Government recognises how beneficial these gardens are in improving the quality of air and reducing energy usage, they have a 2030 goal of turning Sydney into one of the worlds greenest cities! If you head along, you can find out what support and information the government has for the general public who also want to make a difference in their community.
Below are some famous works from Patrick Blanc. Clockwise from top left - Caixa Forum Madrid, Musee du Quai Branly Paris, Siam Paragon Shopping Centre Bangkok, detail Musee Du Quai Branly, Paris.
