Living Wall: Jungle the Concrete

Living walls enable plants turn 90 degrees vertically to become a special surface, which could increase the buildings’ artistic effects and inject vigour to them.

This book introduces some excellent cases of various vertical greening methods, including both exterior walls and interior walls.

Each case is equipped with rich and accurate elevations and detail drawings, providing a continuity view from the vegetation to the wall.

This book includes not only technical data about green walls, but also some of the latest green wall projects for inspiration. It is composed of two parts: technical theories and some wonderful projects.

The first part goes into the finer details about green wall systems characteristics, design approaches, and considerations, including system construction, growing medium, plants, irrigation, and illumination. The examples and technological drawings are used to make theories easier to understand. The secrets of the king of green wall design, Patrick Blanc, and his successful projects, are discussed in this part.

The second part of the book is a fine collection of green wall projects completed by world-renowned designers such as Patrick Blanc, Vertical Garden Design, and Kengo Kuma and Associates. Each project in this book has detailed drawings that will be great value for designers.
