Abstract: |
There are two main approaches when discussing living green walls: an ecological one and an artistic one. Ecological thinking mainly considers environmental aspects, comfort enhancement and energy consumption and oversees human interaction and actual proximity to plants. In opposition, art or architecture installations that involve vegetation, lack technical and ecological aspects, aiming to raise awareness on environmental issues using human interaction either physically (direct) or emotionally (indirect). The present paper aims to analyze methods of combining the two directions, in a functional, ecological, yet aesthetically pleasing composition. In order to further develop previous experiences gathered by the team members, authors of this article, a green installation concept made out of interactive modular systems unites all the knowledge into a new, living, moving, dynamic, interactive structure whose inspiration is taken from nature while using biomimicry as main principle for its development. This new concept responds and is influenced by both external, natural stimuli and by the human factor. Multidisciplinarity is a key element in developing this project, involving architecture, art, interior and landscape design, botany, geometry, mechanical and electrical engineering, leading towards new research directions and innovative approaches in greenery—interior environment connections. |
