These modified downspouts can be found in Seattle and were created by artist Buster Simpson as part of the ‘Growing Vine Street‘ project. Rainwater is redirected and used to feed greenery that’s been placed in the pipes’ u-shaped offshoots. It’s a simple idea that manages to make something as dull as a drainpipe attractive. These are not the world’s first, or best, pimped drainage systems; that honor still belongs to this mental building in Kunsthof, Germany.
