From office buildings that incorporate urban farms and exchange the CO2 produced by humans for food and oxygen produced by plants, to lightweight systems for growing gardens on vertical surfaces; from âtree housesâ the size of city blocks to civic buildings that are âplugged intoâ existing water-management systems â there are rich and often unexpected ideas for e
