马德里史诗般的垂直花园座落在马德里当代艺术博物馆Caixa Forum 的前面，是目前世界上最郁郁葱葱的垂直绿化景观。它是帕特里克•布兰克（Patrick Blanc ）在2008年建造完成的。四层楼高的绿墙与相邻建筑物的深橙色铁锈形成鲜明的对比，植物茂盛的垂直花园吸引了游客坐在周围休息，以躲避马德里灼热的太阳。
在马德里夏天的太阳令气候酷热难当，当地人一直在寻找一种方法暂时摆脱酷热的阳光。布兰克的华丽的绿墙设计便为此提供了便利，游客在普拉多博物馆转了几个小时后可以在这里停下来喘息一会。绿墙位于马德里文化区的核心位置，周围有许多各式各样的博物馆。垂直花园就像一块墙体涂鸦一样，各种植物具有不同的颜色、质地，是一个迷人的艺术、建筑和植物的结合体。
布兰克的绿墙上有各种各样的植物，这些绿色植物不是随意生长的，而是经过精心挑选的250多种植物，适应于马德里在炎热的气候。这250多个物种总计达到15000多棵，都是适应马德里本地气候的植物。
这些植物都是有滴灌的方法浇灌。接近这座绿墙的人都能够感受到明显的清凉，估计温度要低几摄氏度。Blanc的这座绿墙甚至可以建在非常热的、干燥的地方，不仅可以提供郁郁葱葱的地貌，而且可以有效缓解干热。

Madrid’s epic vertical garden on the front of the CaixaForum is one of the world’s most lush living walls to date. Designed by Patrick Blanc in 2008, the dramatic four-story green wall contrasts with the deep orange rust of the adjacent building, which was designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron. The thriving wall welcomes visitors to sit beneath it and cool off from the arid Madrid sun.
In a city warmed by constant sun in the summer, locals are constantly looking for a way for temporary relief from the blistering sun. Blanc’s gorgeous green wall does just that, beckoning visitors to stop for a respite after a few hours at the Prado Museum just down the street. The wall covers the entirety of the wall located on the square in front of the rusted steel CaixaForum, a lace-like renovation of a former power house. Located in the heart of Madrid’s cultural district with museums around every corner, the vertical garden resembles a piece of environmental graffiti as much as it is a botanical piece. The pattern of colors, is a fascinating combination of art, architecture and botany.
Splotches of greens, reds and yellows grow in tufts over the wall, in a mass of flowering plants, ivy and climbing shrubbery. The self-irrigating wall is kept green with drips of water that feed the plants and cast a cooling mist to visitors sitting around the reflecting pool below. Blanc’s wall has a variety of plants, instead of the usual ferns and mosses, which were carefully chosen to flourish in the hot Madrid climate. Over 250 species are represented on the living wall in a mass of over 15,000 plants for the miniature oasis.
One can feel the drastic cooling effect of the wall when sitting next to it, with the temperature feeling several degrees cooler in its proximity. Blanc’s wall shows that green walls can grow in even the hottest and driest climates, and provide not just a lush landscape, but also relief from the heat.
