original description
This is amazing. My had goes off tot he architect and to the who ever approved this project. The crazy thing is, I've actually been there and didn't even realize that roof was this amazing landscape. Here's a note from the individuals who created this video. The roof of the Vancouver BC Convention Centre is covered with over 2.5 hectares (6 acres) of native grassland. Usually closed to the public, They were able to get a tour and interview with the landscape architect of the project, Bruce Hemstock. This is part 1 of the "Growing Cities" documentary series shot while traveling in the USA and Canada - June 2009. 2 person crew. Canon 5DmkII and Zoom H4n. Music is "Andvari" by Sigur Rós Download the full 22 minute interview as an mp3 at children-of-dome.com/growing_cities/bruce_hemstock_interview.mp3
