The green wall is increasingly used as a concept in modern architecture. It is a vertical garden and a perfect way to integrate organic elements into contemporary buildings. In fact, the idea of the vertical garden is centuries old, with the Hanging Gardens of Babylon often cited as an early example. Today, the green wall concept has been significantly improved and is already considered part of modern architecture.
The green wall in modern architecture – types of vertical gardens
The green wall can be divided into two basic types: a vertical garden on a facade or a standalone unit. The first type is used more often on the exterior of houses and public buildings as part of the architecture. The standalone vertical garden is often found indoors, where it has both decorative and practical value.
The green wall inside – functional and practical value
The green wall is especially attractive as a decorative element, but it also has practical importance for interiors. Plants can help filter air and water. In addition, a vertical garden generally keeps the temperature in the room lower. Green walls can also be treated as sculptural art installations and are suitable as garden decoration.
