Vertical garden

Abstract

The constant expansion and intensification of urbanized areas resulting in microclimate deterioration, high air pollution and dust pollution levels, as well as noise provoking a response and a rise in urban greenery, is currently observed. In this context, the subject of green walls also known as vertical gardens subscribes to the notion of sustainable design and its growing popularity manifests the unbreakable bond between man and nature. One cannot overestimate the importance of green wall technology, which provides architects with new ecological elevation material, offering an unlimited number of textures and colour effects, changing according to the time of the day and season, and sometimes unpredictable even for the designer himself.
