Moss Your City by PUSHAK
'Responding to a long history of moss in architecture – from traditional Japanese gardens to Victorian mosseries – PUSHAK presents a spectacular moss landscape that is designed to inspire and enchant. The aim is to show moss as a beautiful and versatile material that can work in harmony with contemporary design. Naturally abundant and requiring low maintenance, moss could be exploited to create new types of architecture that unite nature and architecture.
PUSHAK believes that, along with architects and planners, individuals should also take responsibility for greening cities to create more amenable, vibrant and healthier places to live. The accompanying catalogue shows how you can get involved in urban gardening projects in South London, as well as providing a recipe for ‘moss graffiti’ so that you too can Moss Your City.'

Garage Centre for Contemporary Culture by OMA
from here: http://www.dezeen.com/2012/04/27/garage-centre-for-contemporary-cultureby-oma/
'Translucent polycarbonate will clad the exterior, while inside the galleries hinged panels will fold down from the ceilings to create white walls when necessary.'
Amazed by how OMA could turn a place like this (see existing photo) into a lively space. Simply having translucent polycarbonate panels covering almost full elevation with gap all along at the bottom, creating a sense of lightness, as well as distinguishing the inside and outside.
How can you not love OMA?
