Chile's 'greenest' building?
TreeHugger has an interesting commentary - with some great photos and diagrams accompanying - on an Enrique Browne-designed office building in Concepción, Chile that features a spectacular green wall. TreeHugger explains:
A free plant “volume” that looks to the East, North and
West, protected from the sun by laminated wood sections that support a “double green skin” with mature climbing plants.
A great “horizontal” cantilever roof that serves as an end of the building and protects the large balcony of the upper floor from the western sun
There's more information on the building here .
TreeHugger also has an interesting article on eleven renowned buildings boasting green walls.
