When Chicago planted a semi-extensive garden on top of its city hall in 2001, green roofs fully reached the popular consciousness as a viable sustainable strategy. When Jean Nouvel’s Quai Branley Museum building opened in Paris in 2006, so its and other vertical gardens earned the spotlight. Patrick Blanc, a research scientist at the French National Center for Scientific Research and an artist, was responsible for Quai Branley’s living skin, and he is widely regarded as the progenitor and an indefatigable creative force in the vertical-garden phenomenon.
