Patrick Blanc (born June 3, 1953, Paris) is a French botanist, working at the French National Centre for Scientific Research,〔(Ping Magazine: ''Vertical Garden: The art of organic architecture'' ), 8 December 2006〕 where he specializes in plants from tropical forests. He is the modern innovator of the green wall, yet recent scholarship on the subject suggest that the vertical garden (aka. Green Wall, Botanical Brick) was invented by Professor Stanley Hart White at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 1938. Professor White patented the first known Vertical Garden, or "Vegetation-Bearing Architectonic Structure and System", as a treatise on modern garden design, predating Patrick Blancs contemporary patents by nearly 50 years 〔(Richard L. Hindle (2012): A vertical garden: origins of the Vegetation-Bearing Architectonic Structure and System (1938), Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes: An International Quarterly, 32:2, 99-110 )〕〔(Kristin Hohenadel: ''All His Rooms Are Living Rooms '' ) in The New York Times, 3 May 2007〕 Although Blanc did not invent the vertical garden, he is responsible for modernizing and popularizing the garden type. Blanc describes his vertical garden as follows: This type of achievement exemplifies Blanc's ideas as an ecological engineer and also the 15th target of the ''Haute Qualité Environnementale'' ("High Quality Environment") project, although the latter gives particular stress to use of more local species, at least outdoors. In 2009 he was awarded an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects. ==Works== ; Green walls * 1988 : green wall, made at the Museum of Science and Industry in Paris * 1998 : Fondation Cartier in Paris * 2000 : Aquarium of Genoa, Italy * 2001 : Perhsing Hall Hotel in Paris * 2003 : Marithé & François Girbaud boutique in Manhattan * 2003 : French Embassy in New Delhi * 2004 : Green façade at the Administrative building of the Quai Branly Museum in Paris * 2004 : 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, Japan. * 2005 : North face of the shopping centre in Avignon * 2005 : Vinet Square in Bordeaux (with Michel Desvigne) * 2005 : Siam Paragon shopping center in Bangkok * 2006 : Weleda, 8th arrondissement of Paris * 2007 : ''BHV Hommes'' shop (BHV for men), 4th arrondissement of Paris * 2007 : CaixaForum Madrid * 2008 : Arch at the roundabout at the Grand Theatre of Provence at Aix-en-Provence * 2008 : Galeria Przymorze, shopping centre in Gdańsk, Poland〔http://www.galeriaprzymorze.eu/?site=greenwall (Polish)〕 * 2008 : Melbourne Central Shopping Centre, Australia * 2008 : Galeries Lafayette, Berlin Friedrichstraße, Germany * 2009 : The Athenaeum Hotel, Piccadilly, London, UK 〔http://www.athenaeumhotel.com/pdf/The-Living-Wall-one-year-on.pdf (viewed 17 August 2011)〕 * 2010 : Ronald Lu & Partners, Hong Kong * 2014: Central Park, Sydney ;Other works * 1994 : Garden Festival of Chaumont-sur-Loire 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Patrick Blanc」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
