Although the Organic Building was completed way back in 1993, there is definitely a modern air about it considering the environmental craze we are going through right now. Designed by Italian architect and artist Gaetano Pesce, it embraces the green movement that is such a driving force in design today.
Located in Osaka, Japan, the Organic Building's key feature is obviously a potted plant vertical garden. The eclectic building has become an iconic piece of architecture in the city. I won't be surprised if other architects start looking to this particular structure for greenspiration.
