Wow!!!!!

What can I say.... I haven't seen a building like this. Superb lush green spaces on so many levels. The roof is a stunning spot!

"The landscape architecture of the Cidade Matarazzo complex came from an important premise: it should have as much of a leading role as the buildings. Its role, therefore, was to equalize the chaotic landscape of the site, made up of buildings of various types - some from the beginning of the 20th century and some new constructions. Vegetation permeates the entire complex, occupying the empty spaces, in the complex relationship between the volumes. In this context, was born the concept of Torre Mata Atlântica, with its large stepped terraces, covered in trees, evoking the green slopes of Serra do Mar."

Facade design

[shahzadshafique]

The tradition of creating green roofs derives from the way past times of antiquity, one such example of the use of greenery in architecture is the so-called Hanging Gardens of Babylon. While moving to modern times, the idea to create a living green wall was first spread by Stanley Hart White in 1938, he developed a patent of a structure that enables plants to grow vertically.Green facades are passive techniques and provide benefits in reducing the energy requirements of the building, but also enhance the aesthetic appearance of the building and any other structure. In the past decade, people are slowly beginning to realize the benefits of green architecture which is considered a new perspective for the urban heat island problem.

You are no longer obliged

I release you of your seat

I forgive you

Have I not spared you?

“I will do all this, I will get all this blood on my hands, and you are able to plead naivety.”

A green façade with trees and tall shrubs makes this Vietnamese building a lot more interesting.

Life in the North Pole is stifling.

Being born blind and a girl was apparently the best combination of traits you could ask for if you wanted to spend a lifetime of doing nothing. Her parents wouldn't let her out of the house without a guard to escort her, and they wouldn't even let her learn a drop of waterbending- not even healing, like all the other girls.

Maybe she should consider herself lucky. Most waterbenders didn't get to stay with their families- but the Fire Nation took one look at her, and decided she was just as useless as her parents said she was. She got to stay.

It had happened when she was still really young, so she barely remembered it. Master Pakku- their tribe's best waterbender- had valiantly fought off the invasion, but they'd been smart. They'd arrived during the midnight sun. With waterbending weakened and firebending at its strongest, their forces had only been able to hold out for so long.

After Master Pakku died, Chief Arnook had chosen to surrender.

Prince Ozai had handed control of the city over to Admiral Zhao, who became the governor of what quickly became the Fire Nation's winter playground. For his valor, Fire Lord Azulon gave his throne to his son, who would go on and lead the charge against the Earth Kingdom. Omashu and Ba Sing Se soon fell after.

But Toph didn't care about all that.

She cared about learning to bend anyways. She didn't care if it was dangerous- she just knew her freedom lay on the other side of it. So she taught herself to bend, little by little. She began to understand that there was water everywhere- in everything. Once she did, it was like her whole world opened up.

(It wasn't as good, some part of her thought- only she had no idea what she was comparing it to.)

She taught herself everything she could. Some of it came to her easily- the shifting movement of the water whip felt like she'd 'seen' it done hundreds of times before. Others she struggled with- water was an elusive element, all push and pull. It didn't stay still- it moved on its own. Healing was... a challenge, but at least she had the basics down.

It wasn't important as kicking ass, anyways.

...unfortunately, mastering waterbending didn't make life in the North Pole anymore interesting. The two intruders who snuck into her window one night, however...

...finally, she thought, something interesting.

...but how did they know her name?

Sustainability in terms of design, materials and construction is also an important factor to consider when discussing vegetated façades in India. A well designed and carefully built vertical garden system has a number of requisites.
