Abstract
‘Green architecture’ is very new to me. Back in the late 1970s and early 1980s, architects were working on very elaborate facades. Trees, more often than not, were put on the side in order not to hide the building. Now architects would tend to want to have the trees be the facade itself. That indicates a big level of progress and change in our design culture.
