The case for ... never demolishing another building

The construction industry is wasteful and creates huge CO2 emissions. But what if new buildings had to be adapted and resused or built only

Malmö (Suecia)

Malmö es una de las ciudades más grandes de Suecia que destaca porque en los últimos años ha pasado de ser una ciudad sin una elevada importancia respecto a la arquitectura sostenible a ser un referente mundial. Aquí dejo un enlace a un blog (Mi Moleskine) donde su autor nos enseña diversas fotos sobre esta ciudad y sus rincones arquitectónicos más destacados. También nos habla de su experiencia y de sus sensaciones al visitar el lugar.

Capella Garcia: Green Side-Wall

Capella Garcia Arquitectura has completed the Green Side-Wall, a free-standing plant support structure forming a protective mass of vegetation on a façade in Barcelona, creating a vertical garden. The demolition of an old building left a former party wall visible from the street, creating a negative visual impact on the cityscape. In response, the designers have created an integrative intervention that uses living material as one of its main components. The project is promoted by the Barcelona City Council and, according to the architects, "represents the birth of a novel type of construction in the field of 'vegitecture'".
