Uniting architecture with nature which is critical to greening our cities is quickly gaining recognition. Moss Your City by Oslo based Pushak furthers the research into relationship between contemporary architecture, landscape and natural resources. Inspired by the Bankside Urban Forest and work of green activists across South London, the moss landscape shows how a beautiful material such as moss can harmonize with contemporary design. Naturally abundant and requiring low maintenance the Moss Your City is designed to simply inspire and fascinate people by the spectacular equation it establishes between nature and architecture. It motivates people to create greener spaces in urban environs that are vibrant and healthier to live in. Moss Your City is the official Norwegian participation in the International Architecture Showcase, organised by the British Council and The Architecture Foundation for the London Festival of Architecture 2010.
