Gardening

Hortitecture explores synergies combining architecture and vital plant material - taking plants off the ground into a new conceptual and spatial context. It is a search for the potential of plant material as a construction material, for the provision of ecosystem services, or urban food production, and in the poetic power of built compositions. The book documents contributions to symposia events with international experts focusing on interdisciplinary practices for creating more sustainable future cities.
