Much of the work today is directed at completing decks and porches, like this duo from Team Montréal (École de Technologie Supérieure, Université de Montréal, and McGill University). The vegetation seen on the side of their house serves several sustainable purposes, including growing edible plants, providing cooling and insulation, and, of course, being attractive.
