"In a world of online design competitions and social image sharing, many
architects have taken to crafting ever more extreme models and renderings for
public consumption. Some have even started covering their rendered buildings,
from groundscrapers to high-rises, with gorgeous-looking trees. The effect can
be breathtaking, but are these designs truly green or simply a fresh form of
greenwashing?"

About time someone commented on this recent architectural trend! Via Peter da
Silva.
