In 2017, London Mayor Sadiq Khan declared a bold challenge for the people of London: transform the capital into the world’s first National Park City, by designating 50% of its footprint to green spaces. Inspired by the idea, this global architecture and design firm issued an internal challenge of its own: how can landscape architects claw back space from the roads and reclaim them for the people? Green Block was the result: a maintenance-free, recyclable modular building material permeated with native species, and containing its own water reservoir and root barriers to ensure it can be easily applied anywhere – on bollards and bus stops, vertically or horizontally, on buildings or entire roads, and beyond.
