I really like vertical gardens. Qantas have them at Sydney airport and they're rather striking.

I did a project like this in school. Except my project was a bit more complex - 6 towers perforating 2 blocks in chinatown nyc. the studio problem was 'verticalism' - ie taking programs that are normally horizontal and turning them vertical, in this case i made a vertical carthusian monastery, vertical farms/gardens, and vertical loft apartments. each tower more or less plugged into empty spaces within the blocks and were connected by a public skyway/mall/garden at the old chinatown roofline, and underneath by the T subway line (under construction currently)
the single monastery tower has a huge open atrium core with tiny balconies containing individual meditation gardens, each monk has his own floor as his dormitory, as is law in carthusian monastic societies. these individual gardens jut out into the open vertical atrium like little islands showered with light and solitude.
the vertical farms are continuous ramps up basically a huge linear hydroponic garden on 3 surfaces, spiralling around a central utility and infrastructral/logistics/transportation core. the gardens spill out onto the roof and turn into an elevated park. at the point where the buildings meet this roofscape/skyway, there are restaurants, bars, and other public venues that take advantage of the novel public space. the first third or so of the farm towers are for trees, and the upper floors are for vegetables. the idea was that the towers collectively form a self-sustaining vertical 'village' within the context of chinatown. the crops grown in the farm would be sold both to commercial establishments in the village and also at greenmarkets down at street level in the alleyways, connecting to chinatown's existing street market infrastructure.
for anyone familiar with nyc, this was on chrystie and grand next to the park
I have a fear of heights.
They clearly did this to fuck with me. I hope you're happy, Stuart.

Hey I'M IN TOO
and then we can bungee jump from the top with the ropes tied to our dicks.
What's the point? I can't imagine that dealing with the root system, persistent damp and lack of internal sunlight, as well as rot would be pleasant to deal with.
What if lightning hits it?

It'd have to be dry to catch fire though right?
