Architects and federal officials are planning a series of 250-foot-tall trellises designed to shade the west side of the remodeled Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt Federal Building. The added greenery is just part of a $135 million project that will also feature elevators that generate electricity on the way down, solar arrays on the roof, smart lighting systems that adjust to the daylight available, among other advances.
My question is, how do you mow it? With a solar powered mower that also defies gravity? My other question would be what to do if the stuff were to die and start raining down on the sidewalk patrons? It all seems a little strange to me.
