Veg.itecture

I came across a website called madarchitect.org which had some interesting structural concept by Ken Yeang involving green buildings.

Entitled Veg.itecture it is based on vegetation as the primary component of a building. Ken is one of the most active promoters of this architecture and his designs are considered masterpieces. Most of his buildings are bioclimatic skyscrapers but the technique is not very simple because the structures need sun alignment, adjustment to the climate conditions throughout the year and to make use of lighting and ventilation.
