Vertiscaping

This document aims to communicate the advantages and scientific workings of living walls and green screens. The different types of walls, how they are constructed, their biological components and effects on their environments are the major points of interest. A few case studies aim to look into some of the green wall methods that have been put to use around the world. Similar approaches of vertical planting are also looked at, including retaining wall systems and methods of adding green space to skyscrapers.
