Just a few blocks away at 5th and Madison, the Madison Centre has living wall, but inside. It's in the first floor atrium (one floor up from street level on 5th) and is open to the public. At least it was when I worked there a couple years ago, which is why I know about it.
David's mention of preferring stone buildings over glass is a subtle nod to his wonderful book, "Stories in Stone: Travels through Urban Geology."
What were "Noah's ravens"? Where, and how, did Michaelangelo procure his huge slabs of marble? What made a Spanish fort in Florida immune to English cannonballs?
Each of these questions has its own chapter in this engrossing book.
I hope that more developers take up the practice of bringing nature into the city!
... I also hope most voters will react the same way to the deplorable exhibit of coarse xenophobia and ignorance displayed at Madison Square Gardens of late.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll have to check it out.

Scott, Thanks for the shout out for Stories in Stone!

We can only hope that sanity will prevail.
