Graffiti Room

This room is really crazy! They have half spray painted a colourful and exciting room yet juxtaposed it with a half white room. Both halves of the room are so contrasting as the harsh white is so solid from the bright graffiti. I like the idea as separates but I feel realistically they would not work. I think this because it is so bright and bold that it would be too much however it is a very clever idea.

Milan's Vertical Forest

The Bosco Verticale will be the greenest building in Europe when it is completed, and it is in one of the most polluted cities.

It has been designed by Stefan Boeri Architects as part of their BioMilano vision to incorporate 60 abandoned farms into a greenbelt surrounding the city. The Bosco Verticale building has a green façade planted with dense forest systems to provide a building microclimate and to filter out polluting dust particles. The living bio-canopy also absorbs CO2, oxygenates the air, moderates extreme temperatures and lowers noise pollution, providing aesthetic beauty and lowering living costs

Each apartment balcony will have trees (900 plantings are planned for the two buildings) that will provide shade in the summer and drop their leaves in winter to allow in winter sunlight. Plant irrigation is provided via a grey-water filtration. Additionally, photovoltaic power generation will help provide sustainable power to the building.

Street Art Utopia

This website have some incredible images of street art from all over the world. Some images are so realistic and a lot look 3D, they are really bright and colourful and I think they really brighten up an area. Some people may just think they are graffiti however I think they are really effective pieces of art.
