The misting system must provide a fair amount of evaporative cooling. A nice design. Suggests a botanical mini-Pompidou Ctr.

The point of the building is not to look beautiful (and even so, it is), but to help the nature through architecture, because up to date everything we saw in architecture in Brazil, was turned to aesthetics, and now we have to change this mentality in order to win this cause and “save the enviroment”

i guess criticizers are jealous (as usual) and please, come up with something better, than only saying it’s ugly…..that’s too easy to do….
i believe the idea is great, it is made in a perfect context, that it is brasil…you can save a lot of energy just using the air conditioning 3 degrees below the regular….that’s good enough, maybe not too exceptional nowadays. at least, something.
i think it looks good to me, it represents brasil, a more natural look of modernism, beautifully.

De perto ninguém é normal… esse edifício é H.O.R.R.Í.V.E.L visto de perto.
Esse papo de arquitetura como objeto inacabado deve ser levado a sério e não um cacoete estético. Diboa, o Triptyque já fez coisas beeem melhores que essa.

saw an interior wall /exterior wall in a group old buildings in Dallas, Texas with plants hanging out of holes, it used recycled water in some way, really kept the temperature down in the building, restaurant and bar huddled up near it and it was very cozy. Temperatures in Dallas reach 100 easily in the summer for many days in a row. All four buildings 2 stories or more with tenants had a view of the wall because of how it was laid out, the sound of water trickling possibly into a metal, perhaps copper? container helped, can’t remember the exact layout

Now, this creation is really innovative and I love the concept! I am sure once the shrubs starts growing these will all look just amazing! Great project for homes in humid and hot weather too!

Though to be fair, this building will likely fill out and be as luxuriant as Mr. Blanc’s creations.

I think Patrick Blanc does it better — he has a lot of experience doing vertical gardening.

Just my opinion.
