360 MALL vertical garden is an innovative eco-friendly creation offering a unique experience. Designed by Patrick Blanc, a famous botanist and researcher at the National Center for Research in Paris, it features over 21,000 individual plants and more than 60 plant species from all over the world. Besides being visually stunning, the Vertical Gardens function as a natural bio-filter, improving the Mall’s air quality. The plants have been chosen for their diverse form, color and texture to create a soothing and relaxing canvas of a tropical forest that adorns the wall and vertical structures alongside several restaurants at ‘The Gardens’ zone.
Through an innovative photography contest, aimed at talented individuals in Kuwait, to capture ‘The Gardens’ at 360 MALL – Kuwait’s iconic shopping mall owned by Tamdeen Shopping Centers Company, the mall hopes to raise awareness of the benefits of a green environment to visitors. In Kuwait, 360 MALL was the first place to house Blanc’s creation.
The photo contest is organized by Phoenix Services in collaboration with Tamdeen Group, it’s open to public and will commence on May 10 until 10.00 pm of May 21. The photographs have to be exclusive of ‘The Gardens’ and have to be taken in the most creative manner. (more…)
