Living Facade
Living Facade is a design feature where plants grow on the outside walls of buildings, helping cities stay cooler and cleaner. In urban ecology, living facades give birds and insects new places to live, which helps local nature in busy city areas. These green walls can lower the temperature of buildings by blocking sunlight and keeping heat out. Living facades can take in rainwater, which helps reduce flooding in cities. Designers can use different types of plants to attract pollinators and improve air quality, making city life healthier for people and animals.
