Virtual Tour: The Living Wall at SFMOMA
Mr. Brenner will lead us in a video tour of the Living Wall, its “green” (in more ways than one) features, and how it was constructed and installed. The Living Wall, which can be considered both a construction project and artwork, was designed by David, and installed by Habitat Horticulture with a completion date of 2016. It is located at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
