Light blows of the breeze that entail swaying leaves on the trees, incredibly beautiful sunsets and sunrises, snow-white clouds that cover the entire sky. All this, it turns out, can be seen right at home. True, this should be a house in Sapporo, on the roof of which a Japanese artist Ryo Yamada created an installation Vertical Landscape.
What people do not go to in order to be able to be in nature, even in the very center of a huge metropolis. For example, in New York last winter, an indoor postcard park was created, allowing you to relax in the summer even in the fiercest cold. But the Japanese artist Ryo Yamada has built a huge installation "Vertical Landscape" in a purely Japanese style.
"In a purely Japanese style." In Japan, they generally like to animate the inanimate or give life to the lifeless. Let us recall at least the divine status that they give to the extinct Fujiyama volcano or the famous Japanese Garden of Stones. So "Vertical Landscape", created by Ryo Yamada, also has a very indirect relationship to the landscape and to nature in general.
The installation "Vertical Landscape" is a white synthetic fiber canvas stretched over the top floor of a historic building in Sapporo. The common linen "roof" is pierced by fifty-eight square pillars with a height of 3.6 meters. These pillars are not attached to the floor and hang freely at a height of several centimeters above it. The total area of the synthetic canvas used for the installation is 600 square meters.
The main goal pursued by Ryo Yamada, making this installation, is to create an artificial natural microcosm that allows you to enjoy many natural phenomena right on the top floor of the building in use. Here you can watch the sunset and dawn, listen to the melodies of the wind and admire the swaying of the linen pillars from the smallest swirls that have fallen inside them. Well, the general white background created by the panel is the stylization of the clouds.

Huge vertical garden on the walls of an Italian shopping center
The idea of creating vertical gardens is not new: for the first time such unusual installations appeared in Paris in 1988. French botanist and designer Patrick Blanc came up with the idea of “turning” the angle of view of traditional green spaces exactly 90 degrees. Since then, this method of "greening" walls and roofs has been successfully used by many landscape designers, but the Italians turned out to be the real masters of their craft: on the walls of a shopping center in the city of Rozanno, they managed to size
