I thought the exterior was pretty wonderful but had many, many problems with the handling of the works inside. Maybe we would collaborate on a post about this.... Good wishes, J. Brent,

I've seen the mur végétal at the Musée du Quai Branly, and I have to say that it looks better in real life than it does in the photos. It's very, very green for what is an otherwise stony city. The Trump thingum in Dubai is a different matter, though. I'd love to be able to go to Dubai to see it in person — it's a fantastic place to see modern architecture, like the <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Dubai,+united+arab+emirates&ie=UTF8&z=18&ll=25.140982,55.185839&spn=0.004565,0.005836&t=h&om=1" title="Hotel?

(And thanks for stopping by.) Loved this post about live-in cactus. Here are some other examples of plant architecture. Hideous? Heavenly? You be the judge. http://humanflowerproject.com/index.php/weblog/comments/hanging_gardens_of_paris/ http://humanflowerproject.com/index.php/weblog/comments/trumpomania/ All good wishes from Austin, Julie Dear Brent,
