Developed from an original and intuitive idea of
the French architect Le Corbusier it was developed by the botanist Patrick
Blanc has inherent in itself and many innovative concepts and design for both
the ecology and the lines to follow in this regard.
Just respect for the environment and its
maintenance and upgrading was born on vertical garden located within a shopping
center in Rozzano, a city in Lombardy, conceived and designed by Francesco
Bollani of a fruitful collaboration with the architectural firm of Montpellier
and
the company Peverelli, and is the largest green
wall in Italy.
Built through the composition of forty-four
thousand of two hundred different species of plants grows well for 1250 square
meters of green, innovation, energy saving and above all beauty.
In a
historical moment in which the preservation of the environment and experimental
forms of protection and ecological sustainability on the agenda this wall
represents a true revolution in that auspicious will be taken as an example for
many others and for developing
a beautiful and natural form of protection.
There are
many points in favor of this ecological design: the building's thermal balance
due to sun protection and energy saving, reduction of fine particles and the
absorption of CO2, the reduction of ambient noise so the sound insulation from
'outside.
In
addition, the vertical garden can be removed and replaced with ease, unlike
stationary walls and walls.
As already said more than two hundred plants are
used to make up the wall, ranging from the evergreen flowering plants that give
it an impressive and festive thanks to all the variety of colors ranging from
pink, yellow, red, white and blue on the basis
moss that
gives firmness and strength.
The substrate also allows high-capacity water to
irrigate with ease and keeping costs down.
A single
color effect that meets all the standards of environmental sustainability that
will be expanding as: beauty, easy maintenance and low cost of installation and
composition.
Just plants, after the solar wind power, in fact,
are becoming the new frontier of renewable energy as he had anticipated and
hoped for the architect and Austrian artist Friedrich Hundertwasser.
In its
ideal vision of the office because he saw the original architect an environment
that fosters creativity and surrounded by nature, like a great forest.
"An
office must have natural air, it is possible that the windows do not open even
if they can simply enter bad air.
Do not install a central heating or air conditioning to
central direction, so that it works only if there is no open window.
It must
be a change of air set in a natural way.
They may,
for example, holding an office environment with grass roofs.
Under a
roof of grass there are headaches.
The people who work in this office are, of course, much
better than if they had a sad roof without plants, which affects the soul and
head.
Instead of curtains and blinds should be some plants
that are on the windows.
I think a very simple adaptation of the window, a shelf
for plants, a kind of shelving for books. "A very original and idealistic
vision that, although it cannot be grasped in its entirety, can certainly
provide interesting ideas for the architecture of
future.
