Green Wall
A green wall is a
vertical greening typology, where a vertical built structure is intentionally
covered by vegetation. Green walls include a vertically applied growth medium
such as soil, substitute substrate, or hydro culture felt; as well as an
integrated hydration and fertigation delivery system. Vertical gardens are
a wonderful alternative to potted plants in the office space. Vertical
Gardening is a special kind of urban gardening suitable to small spaces,
particularly for decorating the walls and roofs in various styles.
It has been
underscored that the buildings that are located near the natural environment
have higher chances to come under the demand list when compared with the
buildings without such special factors. The building designers are now
promoting the incorporation of plants into the building envelopes as a part of
environment sustainability movement.
These are
included in the roofs and the exterior walls, as these elements cover a large
portion of the building structure.
