Sydney’s Living Building
In Sydney a certain building is not a basic block, it seems to be alive through its vegetation...

In Sydney, a certain building can be qualified as special. It is entirely covered by plants and at the top, dozens of mirror panels are hanging horizontally, reflecting the sunlight. The tainted glass of the windows light up the greens of the cascades of vegetation that are hanging outside, making the building look like a giant box of light and plants. Inside, an escalator is surrounded by numerous plants. On each side of these plants: mirrors reflect their shapes and colors to infinity, giving the impression of being in a large field. This is the Jean Nouvel Building.
