New article name is Living Architecture

The term living architecture reflects a sustainable vision of architecture and landscape design that extends beyond green roofs to include green walls and permaculture gardens. LIving architecture is an umbrella term for the aforementioned disciplines.

A Green roof is the roof of a building that is partially or completely covered with vegetation and a growing medium, planted over a waterproofing membrane.

Green walls are wall, either free-standing or part of a building, that is partially or completely covered with vegetation and, in some cases, soil or an inorganic growing medium. The vegetation for a green façade is always attached on outside walls; with living walls this is also usually the case, although some living walls can also be green walls for interior use.

Permaculture is an approach to designing human settlements and agricultural systems that mimic the relationships found in natural ecologies.
