The garden at the balcony
Photographs by Bo-Kyung in 2009The green balcony that I have found is in a building near London museum. The design of the building and that space is simple but it gives the building more green in the middle of the city for office workers around that area. It is quite small as a garden in a huge and dreary office building but creating that kind of small space with full of green is one step to be into green city and making natural sites closed to people in the city anyway.
Trees in Musée du Louvre
Photographs by Bo-Kyung in 2009Trees in the hall of Musée du Louvre are surrounded by marble squares as edges of planting space and benches for people, and it has got an esthetical value and functional value at once.
The vertical garden in Paris
Photograph by Bo-Kyung in 2007I took a picture of plants on the wall in Paris in 2007 but I recently found that it is the vertical garden which comprises 15,000 plants and 150 different species by Patrick Blanc, a resident scientist, has been creating vertical gardens for nearly 10 years. The building is located at the Musée du Quai Branly, between the Pont d'Alma and the Eiffel Tower.
It was very interesting and the fact that I was even attracted by the building to take a picture even though I did not know what it is exactly and how it is famous either. Plants on the wall of a building is very close to have nature into our life and I do not think I can even compare that sort of idea with just having flower or trees on pots in indoor space. The vertical garden looks like a huge organic space where people and plants live together and a special architecture to create an indoor space for human life and surface of a building for living of plants through the medium of a building.
It is a unique method to create a space for living both of people and plants so I hope we can see gardens on buildings not only for looking good but also making great organic space in the future.
