When it comes to green buildings, few architects today can touch Édouard François of Paris. in François’ view, working with nature offers a welcome complexity: ‘Watch a tree. It has a thousand branches, it moves, grows, changes colour!’ He builds with what are known as green façades, much simpler than the current rage of living walls as they are planted in the ground and do not need elaborate watering systems…

WKK Energy Plant > Utrecht, Netherlands

Where else but in the Netherlands can a power plant become a landscape sculpture.
To increase the capacity of two existing power stations on the Uithof in Utrecht, a new building (6000m3) appeared. The size and construction of the building are largely determined by the technical requirements.
