Lincoln Center Atrium’s Living Wall
I love the closeup of the wall below. It clearly shows each plant growing out of a little felt pocket. Some walls use perlite, others dirt, and others just let the plant’s bare roots sit in the pocket. There’s typically two layers of felt at a minimum. The front blanket of felt has the rips and the back felt blanket is one solid piece of synthetic felt. The 20 ft high wall of plants was designed by Tod Williams Bille Tsien Architects and Laurent Corradi and with Marie-Christine Steffanetti with plantwalldesign.
You can see the green wall was planted using a style similar to Patrick Blanc’s. Plants were grouped together in long, artsy lines at a gentle angle. Although this wall only used green plants, the different shades and textures on the wall make it very eye-catching. From curbed

There’s a vertical garden in Montreal, Quebec. I saw it there in November, 2005. It’s in a skyscraper whose first and second floors have been converted to an indoor mall – at least, it used to be. Wish I could remember the address.
