THE GREEN CITY

The Green City is an urban development plan that includes the construction of exhibition-buildings for a wide variety of landscapes: man-made, pasture, forest, and water. Each building is designed to suit the specific character of each landscape. And through the use of various applications such as roof and hanging gardens, patios and porches, the layered city demonstrates how green spaces can be integrated into our urban environment.
