Vertical Gardens

With all the attention the green roof at the Academy of Science has gotten (the seven undulating peaks are meant to mirror our seven great hills here in San Francisco), there's no better place to further your design knowledge of the world's hanging urban gardens better than heading down the San Francisco AIA headquarters to see the new exhibit, Vertical Gardens. The projects covered range from our backyard to continents away, and make the convincing case that green cities need leafy buildings. The exhibit just opened last week and is on view through April 30th.
