Vertical Garden by Lost At E Minor
At 200 meters long and 12 meters tall, this vertical garden is an impressive permanent and living installation at the Musée Du Quai Branly in Paris. The "living wall" was designed and planted by Patrick Blanc and forms the facade of the museum which was designed by enigmatic French architect Jean Nouvel.
