A little too much Green?




Here are some images of a building on 86th St in New York City. I was walking past the building yesterday afternoon as this 'decorative' facade was being completed. My only thought, "How in the world will they maintain that?"

Yes, it's on the side of a building. Yes, they are REAL plants (in a few places you can see the dirt). Should be interesting to watch how this changes over time. Quite an adventurous design if you ask me! :-)

The guy in the pics is on an 8 or 10Foot ladder - obviously they needed bigger than that - or possibly a scaffolding to do the upper portions.

I'll try to remember to take more images and post them as time goes by. (Don't you just LOVE camera's in your cell phone?)
