leafy green suburban images

I love architecture, but I also love how it interacts with nature visually. Even in the simple suburban setting of terraced houses local to me, the textures and shapes contrast beautifully. The idea of suburbia has always been a heavy undercurrent in my ideas: historically and still today it challenges the environmental boundaries between city and country, and becomes a middle ground where the two, and even more, combine. One example is the new context of palm trees in English gardens, which I have noticed more and more on my general travels.
