A couple vines and saplings doesn't make it "eco". The creation of concrete is one of the biggest sources of carbon
I thought the intent behind ecobrustalism was adding plants (and I've seen some depictions also include things like solar, rooftop gardens, etc) to brutalist buildings that already exist, not building new ones/using new concrete
That's a terrible idea. Plants can root and form cracks at worst at damage the surface at best
Usually retrofitting isn’t a slap-dash affair. Nobody is going to go plant trees on brutalist buildings recklessly.
You’re correct that the idea you had when you learned about ecobrutalism is a bad one, but that doesn’t mean everyone else is having that same idea.
