A friend and I were talking about the latest marketing campaign from Microsoft which is to defend against the I'm a Mac, I'm a PC adds that Apple Computer Company do so well.
In the new adverts, people joyfully state they are a PC. Usually after exclaiming some fact of what they do in life. (see the video here)
About 15 seconds into the commercial we see architect Edouard Francois where he states "I'm a PC and I design Green Buildings" with his Flower Tower behind him.
Now to be truly honest, I did not know of Edouard or his work until I started searching for that building in the ad. A few minutes with Google and I found this nice video explaining the building.

Overall the concept intrigues me. I ask the community here to share you favorite green wall buildings. Share your favorites in the comments.
