Location of Interruption: Any architect, anywhere
All over the world architects are asking themselves, “How can I make this project more ‘green’?” And all too often the answer is to put some plants on it, without a nuanced consideration of whether a green wall or roof is really a suitable (and environmentally friendly) option in the circumstances.

Rather than installing plants on structures, architects can simply don The Hat.
