LIVING WALLS
With all our modern amenities and technologies, we can still find ourselves surrounded with a bleak and drab world to live in. Concrete and plastic permeate our lives. Walls and buildings wrestle to be beautiful spaces through constant evolving architectural creativity and modern stylistic changes. But these changes in actuality just put a fresh face to the static and lifeless buildings materials we continue to use.
Except humans were made to be surrounded with living things. We gravitate to other living things. We all have desired to be surrounded by the wild, a call to the simple and basic nature of landscape. Why can’t we have more of this in our modern lives?
Our busy and progressive culture leaves little room for nature or wilderness. Real Estate is taken up with more important and functional uses. Our plants and landscapes get squeezed into small plots of earth or if we are unlucky, none at all. We must find a way to bring our landscapes back, to surround ourselves with the life giving elements nature provides.
Living Walls fulfill this need by allowing us to use the vertical spaces that surround us in ways we have never imagined. We can use the wilderness to cover our concrete and improve our interior habitats.
Plants can be active participants in cooling our buildings, filtering our air, and interacting with us. It is possible to create a world where nature surrounds us, where we can appreciate a little more wilderness in our everyday lives. It is possible to build with living materials that change with us and fulfill a fundamental need for a dynamic and beautiful world.
