Temporary Living Wall for Construction Site

If your building in Shibuya is designed by Tadeo Ando, you probably not going to want to have your construction hoarding off the rack. You might go to Tokyo architects Klein Dytham for something really special, like this Green Green Screen, where "fabric panels with graphic patterns and advertisements alternate with soil-filled burlap pockets that hold trailing plants"- a temporary green living wall. ::Klein Dytham via Linton at ::Hugg

see other green walls like the Livingwall, ELT's do-it-yourself living wall, and the Parabienta Living Wall.

Thats a great idea. I hate seeing all the bland construction sites or the graffiti-covered pressboards that try to close in the building site. I'm glad someone came up with an idea that uses nature.
