FIRE ESCAPE ECO SYSTEM

GROSS.MAX & Mark Dion have designed a vertical garden that uses a fire escape on a 1890 London tenement planted with native and exotice plants, Mark refers to this creation as "artifciality of contemporary nature".
The fire escape was considered by them both in terms of structure and symbolism, with the structure of the fire escape acting as a scaffoling for the plants to climb organically and also serves as a practical means of maintenance and supports the irrigation system.
