etc.: vertical garden design

vertical garden by patrick blanc

kids, meet the NEW mural, the vertical garden.  i'm loving the work of patrick blanc, the original vertical garden creator, particularly the sweeping form and textures in this piece.

i recently caught wind of the fab lab in san diego.  MIT & Heads on Fire collaborated in 2007 to create an advanced digital design and fabrication studio.  A creative outlet for students and the community, the Fab Lab gives people the tools to create..well, 'almost anything'!  i love the whole idea behind this - are they hiring?

SO glad I stumbled upon this video over at ModernGrassRoots.  How did I not know about this fabulous design couple?!  I'm going to make a call to my Arch History professor....
