Category: Product Development
Brief:
A building façade system incorporating green wall technologies with data on specific species habitats to produce exterior cladding systems fostering or hosting species within the façade of the building. The process would introduce buildings as species sponsors and allow for the built environment to reconnect eco corridors.
Work/Research Pellets:
1. Species and their habitats. Pilot project to pick location and identify viable species (ex. New York City: Brown Owl, Luna Moth)
2. Rain screen systems and attachment, integration with curtain wall systems.
3. Irrigation systems use with green wall systems.
4. Green wall systems.
Project Team / Agents:
Architects, Landscape architects, Curtain wall manufacturers, Biologists.
Leads/Links/Clues:
