A Look Into the Latest Design Trend: Greenchitecture

From Lannoo Publishers, Botanical Buildings shows us that nature is inextricably connected to architecture.
Tina Smedts - De Poedelfabriek

The green architecture movement is a worldwide phenomenon that addresses sustainability and a parallel awareness of how the built world is enriched by nature. This lavishly illustrated book has presented the most beautiful and innovative buildings from around the world and explores how they incorporate plants and architecture in both interior design and construction. With inspiring projects and practical tips for both the professional and the enthusiast, the author explores the best of what’s green in houses large and small, apartment buildings, and offices.

“It’s impossible to imagine the world we live and work in without nature and a nature-inclusive lifestyle. That thought, and my daily work as a plant architect, led me to write a book about plants and architecture. It’s the book with the working title When plants meet buildings that presented itself as the sequel to Wonderplants 1 and 2 and Ultimate Wonderplants. What does a world in which plants and architecture come together look like?”
