Description

The concept is based on the relation between architecture and vegetation, the role that vegetation takes in an inhabited architectural structure, and how the vegetal becomes part of the structure.
A narrative was created to exaggerate the concept.
The story takes place in Saint-Denis, next to the market place.
In a very near future,a scientific experiment went wrong and the vegetation starts to grow faster and faster, bigger and bigger, invading the whole place, then the whole city, destroying everything.
The war between architecture and vegetation has begun.
Humans react to keep their houses and building, destroying every greenery.
The government decides to create an archeo-botanical laboratory in order to preserve samples of vegetation, creating a sort of "Vegetal Arch of Noe", associated to an archeological center developing the history of the place where everything began.
A post modernist building becomes the nest of this protected vegetation.The symbiotic between this building and the vegetation contained in the greenhouses is really strong.
The laboratories on the top of the building look like guards elegantly shaped , protecting the nature.
These greenhouses become a peace hall for the vegetation, a greenery paradise, and a lung for the city.
