Eco-friendly building with Vertical Garden by architect Gaetano PesceEco-friendly building with Vertical Garden on Wall

This is one great solution to reduce the air pollution in tight city by place gardens right on the exteriors of buildings. Completed in 1993 by Italian architect Gaetano Pesce, this amazing Organic Building has since been named a civic landmark by the City of Osaka-Japan, where Restaurants and many business offices are headquartered here. The exterior of the building is an eye-catching vertical garden that takes its conceptual cues from bamboo. The exterior is covered with steel-encased concrete panels glazed with a red finish that feature rather cute extruding pockets. Inside these containers are fiberglass planters that contain more than 80 types of indigenous plants and trees selected in collaboration with Osaka horticulturists, and they are all irrigated via a computer-controlled hydrating system of mechanical pipes.
