The PNC Living Wall by Mingo Design
Kari Elwell Katzander of Mingo Design has created a living wall for the PNC Financial Services Group building in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Katzander says:
PNC really allowed me be very creative with the design of this wall. Inspirations from Verner Panton,Joan Miro and Alexander Calder were taken and used through my design process. Painting with living plants is a challenge met with great respect for the plant material used to grow vertically.

This is one of the most original, and unique forms of signage I’ve ever seen. Amazing.

I really like this concept. There is one in particular I enjoy in Aix-en-provence, France. It’s a not used as an ad or anything, I don’t know the story behind it, but it’s really amazing.

The site has photos of some other places/buildings using this idea.

Apparently that thing is the size of a doubles tennis court approximately. That’s one massive vertical garden.

Just walked past this last weekend during Pittsburgh’s holiday Light Up Night and was breathless… It’s so amazing to see in person.
