Blanc/Herzog and deMeuron 1


The CaixaForum Madrid, a venue for visual and performing arts, sports on of Patrick Blanc's tapestry-like living walls. Overlooking a public plaza, the wall covers nearly 500 square metres and holds 15,000 plants. The building was a former power station, built originally in 1899 and redesigned by the Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron.
