Patrick White,inventor of vertical gardens, gave birth to a new masterpiece. On the occasion of the Design Week which will take place in Paris from 9 to 10 September 2013, it will be possible to admire his new creation, which bears the name of Aboukir Oasis and which will be inaugurated on Tuesday 10 September.
It is a realized vertical garden in just 7 weeks all'angolo tra Rue d'Aboukir and Rue des petits Carreaux. He vertical garden now it covers a wall that until a few weeks earlier appeared completely devoid of any hint of green, as well as defaced by an inscription, certainly not decorative, probably made with spray cans.
For the covering of the facade of the building, they were chosen plant elements di different colors, ranging from yellow to red to green. Their composition led to the creation of a lush vertical garden, which helped to renew the building's previous appearance. The rapid transformation was documented by some photographs.
Passers-by were able to observe the gradual creation of the vertical garden, which saw a project based on diagonal lines as its starting point. The vertical garden has not only undoubtedly embellished the building, but has also allowed the reactivation of one pedestrian zone positioned below it.
Patrick Blanc had made his first opera in City of Sciences, in Paris, to give life to the idea of covering a wall of the museum with green, through the creation of a vertical garden. From her first visionary creation the spread of the possibility of exploiting the external walls of large buildings to transform them into real gardens has begun. At first, his works were considered absurd, but now, fortunately, the situation has changed a lot.
