Vancouver's 6 Acre Living Roof by Dave Budge

The roof of the Vancouver BC Convention Centre is covered with over 2.5 hectares (6 acres) of native grassland. Usually closed to the public, Dave Budge was able to get a tour and interview with the landscape architect of the project, Bruce Hemstock.

Dave Budge was an interactive designer for 10 years but got sick of sitting in front of a computer making websites for companies and things he didn't care to much about.  So he left to make videos about things he do care about. He is now outside a lot of the time and get to meet great people, but still sit in front of a computer too much. He lives in Melbourne, Australia.
