Examples of the use of the plant world and water are presented to approximate their important role in the space in which we live, work and rest. Based on the review of selected solutions used in architecture: free-standing vegetation in the interiors of the building, atrium, orangery or winter gardens, it was shown that the presence of the aquatic environment in the living space, especially life-giving flora with a rich microclimate, significantly improves health, well-being, and aesthetic reception of the interior, comfort of living and human work, and primarily the quality of air necessary for us to live. An impor­tant noteworthy element is the use of the vertical surface of ubiquitous walls, which can perfectly serve as a base for all kinds of plantings, not only decorative but also usable, fulfilling a significant role in the environment in which we live.}, doi = {10.4467/25438700SM.18.057.9647}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/srodowisko-mieszkaniowe/article/garden-in-the-living-space-the-benefits-of-the-presence-of-greenery-and-water-in-interiors-based-on-the-analysis-of-selected-examples} }
