Editor's Notes
- not only on social and aesthetical value but also on well-being in and around the buildings. The result of integration of vegetation and building, improve the ecological and environmental efficiency with positive influence. Since 2000 years ago in traditional architecture, climbing plants have been planted at the base of the buildings facades or planter boxes have been manipulated on the main elevations.The result of integration of vegetation. Improve the ecological and environmental efficiency with positive influence. Since 2000 years ago. First introduced in Switzerland.
- Between 3rd BC and 17th AD Romans train grape on garden trellies and on villa walls. In 1920's Britania and North America promote trellis structures and self-climbing plants on houses and gardens In 1988 started to use stainless steel cable system Early 1990's cable and wire-rope net systems and modular trellis panel systems enter the North American marketplace.
- A huge variety of different designs and concepts are available. The design of vertical garden depends on the available material, space and local preferences as well as on the creativity and imagination of the users.They may be utilized as a remarkable outdoor system, or may be applied indoor in different climatic environments.
- Block : Engineered with gaps where plants root through the wall Crib Wall : In this system, elements of like tile, concrete, wood stacked log cabin style Frame : In this system, interlocking flor coverings stacked like massonry Trough : Used soil filled tubs Gabion : Used wire baskets filled with Stones to provide strong Mesh : Like mini gabions Cell : Used flexible and strong honeycombs which filled with soil Sandbag : Make with geotextiles wrapped around soil. This systems formally called āvegetated geogrid
- It is intended to be integrated into a buildingās infrastructure and designed to act as bio-filters indoor air and ecological air conditioning systems.Passive living wall emerged from the usage of green roof applications, with a number of technological innovations. It is mostly applied in modular systems which are made up of rectangular or square panels which contain a growing media and keep plant material. As modular systems are usually pre-grown, providing an immediate green effect upon completion of the installation is possible (Fig. 2). The necessity nutrient requirements are prepared in the growing media. Irrigation which applies gravity to transfer water through the growing media is supplied with this equipment along the wall at different heights. A waterproof substance insulates the system from the building wall in order to prevent wetting problems, furthermore emitters, fertilizers, irrigation and lighting systems may be required [5], Fig. 3 illustrates living wallsā usual components.
- Available in different shapes and curvesThe building block of this modular system is a rigid, light weight, three-dimensional panel made from a powder coated galvanized and welded steel wire that supports plants with both a face grid and a panel depth. This system is designed to hold a green facade off the wall surface so that plant materials do not attach to the building, provides a "captive" growing environment for the plant with multiple supports for the tendrils, and helps to maintain the integrity of a building membrane. Panels can be stacked and joined to cover large areas, or formed to create shapes and curves, are made from recycledcontent steel and are recyclable (fig3, fig4). Because the panels are rigid, they can span between structures and can also be used for freestanding green walls (Gren roof organization 2008).
- Grids are employed on green facades that are designed to support faster growing climbing plants with denser foliage. Wire-nets are often used to support slower growing plants that need the added support these systems provide at closer intervals. Both systems use high tensile steel cables, anchors and supplementary equipment. Various sizes and patterns can be accommodated as flexible vertical and horizontal wire-ropes are connected
- Living wall systems are composed of pre vegetated panels. These panels can be made of plastic, expanded polystyrene, synthetic fabric, clay, metal, and concrete, and support agreat diversity and density of plant species. Living walls need more protection than green facades because of its diversity and density of vegetationLiving walls, also called bio-walls or vertical gardens. Living wall systems are composed of pre vegetated panels, vertical modules or planted blankets These panels can be made of plastic, expanded polystyrene, synthetic fabric, clay, metal, and concrete, and support a great diversity and density of plant species. Living walls need more protection than green facades because of its diversity and density of vegetation. Living Walls are made with three parts: a metal frame, a PVC layer and an air layer (do not need soil). This system supports a variety of plant species, such as a mixture of vegetation, perennial flowers, low shrubs, and ferns etc (fig 7). It performs well in various climate environments. However, the selection of better species may adapt to the prevailing climatic condition, so that the maintenance of the system be made easy. Generally is used self-automated watering and nutrition system, to make maintenance of the living walls easy (Gren roof organization 2008, Yeh 2012)..

- These walls are an evolution of landscape 'berms' and a strategic tool in an approach to 'living' architecture. Landscape walls are typically sloped as opposed to vertical and have the primary function of noise reduction and slope stabilization . They usually are structured from some form of stacking material made of plastic or concrete with room for growing media and plants These walls are an evolution of landscape 'berms' and a strategic tool in an approach to 'living' architecture. Landscape walls are typically sloped as opposed to vertical and have the primary function of noise reduction and slope stabilization (fig 8). They usually are structured from some form of stacking material made of plastic or concrete with room for growing media and plants (Gren roof organization 2008).
- It is composed of two layers of synthetic fabric with pockets that physically support plants and growing media. The fabric walls are supported by a frame and backed by a waterproof membrane against the building wall because of its high moisture content. Nutrients are primarily distributed through an irrigation system that cycles water from the top of the system dow
- There are so many different containers are using in vertical gardens.
- Vertical Gardens utilize soil, compost, vermicomost, acrylic material as well as aquaponic and aeroponic solutions as growing media thereby maximizing the use of the resources while compromising the degradation of nutrients by using various planting medium.
- Several plants that have thrived in living walls in Australia for the past few years include epiphytes, lithophytes, bromeliads, ferns, succulents, climbers and grasses. Native plants as well as ornamental species have also been successfully used. Most of the plant species that have been tested for their phytoremedial qualities have been indoor plants.
- Selected plants root in the ground, in modular panels attached to the facade or in the wall material itself, with the purpose of covering the buildings with plant foliage.Fibre rooting

- More recently , carried out experimental work with a modified vertical garden module, where they activated it to climatise incoming air in one of three manners . where the air was to be cooled in a manner similar to atraditional swamp cooler.
- Green Walls provide a noise buffer which significantly reduces outside noise and vibration (up to 40dB) inside our homes and workplaces. A small indoor hedge placed around a workspace will reduce noise by 5 dB
- 4.4Maintenance Designing a building with an early understanding of living walls can greatly reduce maintenance costs. With the exception of access and regular watering issues, local suppliers state that maintenance of a living wall should be no more onerous than that of landscape planting. Designing the living wall as a pivoting or removable screen can reduce the use of lift equipment to maintain living walls that are placed high on a building. The usual requirements of pruning, feeding and watering still apply though in a different way. Establishing a well-understood maintenance regime with facilities management personnel, especially at the specification stage, will greatly improve the likelihood of survival of the wall.
