Speaking of modern architecture:
International Herald Tribune has an article on “farms in the sky,” vertical structures that support edible stuff. Call it p-patch of the future, edible green roof or “vertical farm” (as Dr. Dickson Despommier, a professor at Columbia who is promoting the idea, calls it), having a farm right in the city that’s energy efficient and organic is an intriguing, timely idea. The article actually points to a lot of criticism as well as enthusiasm around the topic (”who pays the rent?”), but looking at the renderings by the architects is a trip!

(features renderings by Seattle’s own Mithun, whose branding efforts are highly laudable in my humble opinion)
