A plant that invades a house, 2021
A utopia where all facades are green.
A place where plants climb and cover concrete walls like a blanket that stretches across the whole city.
A blanket that insulates houses meanwhile cohabiting birds and bees. Grapevines that climb on to walls and attach their tendrils to the special metal plates. Branches that penetrate walls to bear fruits inside of a living room on the special ceramic tile.
A facade that is a living and breathing organism which brings nature back to the cities.
