I was slightly late for the talk but soon caught up when I got in, I found some parts quite interesting and others not so interesting.
The website explains the project and each opportunity it will bring.
I particularly enjoyed the part on Enviroment and Infrastructure, in this I-trees and Green roofs were mentioned, I wasn't completely sure what a Green roof was so I decided to look into this more and found it's a roof of a building that is covered with plants with grow through a waterproof membrane. I then realised I had seen this before on the programme Grand Designs. It gives the illusion that a roof is made out grass which I think looks good design wise and is also enviromentally firendly. I've just realised that this actually links in with my idea of maybe comflarging the indside/outside of a building, iIt would be intresting to experiment with natural forms/materials to do this.
