Description
The greening of façades with plants gives a piece of nature back to the city. But a green façade is much more than a charming view: thanks to its insulating effect, it evens out extreme swings in temperature, protects against UV radiation, and improves sound insulation.
In that regard, one does not have to always rely on the usual ivy. Other evergreen or fruit-bearing plants and even exotic flowers can be used as façade decoration. In this way, varied and creative greening can be created, which lends a colourful aesthetic tone to the cityscape.
The 50 projects presented here give an overview of this current trend in landscape architecture.
Facade Greenery by Chris van Uffelen provides a fascinating insight into incorporating nature into urban environments.
