Green Wall Design

Complete with a variety of green wall designs.

The green wall is a wall that is partially or combined with a green plant covering a growing medium, such as a soil or a substrate. A large section of the green wall is also equipped with an integrated water delivery system. The green wall is also known as living wall or vertical garden. This gives the means for the /.

It is useful to distinguish the green wall from the green facade. The green wall has a growing medium supported on the face of the wall, like a green facade just at the bottom of the wall (inside the container or on the ground) and supports climbing the plant on the face of the wall to create a green facade, or vegetation.

Green walls may be indoors or outdoors, stand alone or taped to existing walls, and come in a variety of sizes.

Patrick Blanc, a botanist who is building himself in tropical forest, works with architect Adrien Fainsilber and engineer Peter Rice who applied the green wall at home in 1986 at the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie in Paris. In 2005, he built the exterior wall of a vegetative landmark building of the Musée du quai Branly administration with architect Jean Nouvel.

Closing the walls with plants is one of the simplest efforts that is environmentally friendly. Not only beautiful, the room behind the wall also feels more cool thanks to oxygen released by green plants. Greening the walls can be done in several ways. You can plant crops that grow down, or plant vines that cover the entire area of the wall.

Green walls are most commonly found in urban environments where plants reduce overall building temperature. "The main cause of heat accumulation in the city is insolation, the absorption of solar radiation by roads and buildings in the city and this heat storage in building materials and subsequent re-radiation Plant surface however, as a result Transpiration, do not rise more than 4-5 ° C at Over the ambient and sometimes colder.

The living wall can also be a means for water reuse. Plants can purify the slightly contaminated water (such as greywater) by absorbing dissolved nutrients. Bacteria mineralized organic components to be available to plants. A study is underway at Bertschi School in Seattle, Washington using the GSky Pro Wall system, however, no publicly available data on this subject is available today.
