Hope they have a back-up plan. Let's check in after a couple of years - plants on walls are a passing fad and aren't a long term solution. There's no sustainable benefit: they require high-maintenance watering systems that inevitably fail, it's difficult to replace dead plants and it's hard to manage disease. Just another academic toss; let's move on. Other than that, a very beautiful building. Nice idea on paper. Hope they have a back-up plan.
