The idea of creating vertical gardens is not new: for the first time such unusual installations appeared in Paris in 1988. French botanist and designer Patrick Blanc came up with the idea to "turn" the angle of view of traditional green spaces exactly 90 degrees. Since then, this method of "greening" walls and roofs has been successfully used by many landscape designers, but the Italians turned out to be the real masters of their craft: on the walls of a shopping center in Rozanno they managed to place the world's largest vertical gardenwho did not fail to be in the Guinness Book of Records!
On an area of 1263 sq. m The Italian architect Francisco Bollani, who oversaw the project, notes that his team spent a year growing the plants, and it took another 90 days to place them on the walls of a commercial building. At first glance, it may seem that the building is covered with a layer of soil, but in reality it is not - the plants are planted in special containers that are attached to the walls. This innovative technology for planting a vertical garden turned out to be very expensive - the project cost is estimated at 1 million euros.
The purpose of creating a vertical garden is not only purely aesthetic. The director of the shopping center Simone Rao says that this project is aimed at creating an architectural masterpiece, which at the same time would serve as an energy-saving installation. Plants on the walls help regulate the room temperature, protect visitors from direct sunlight, absorb carbon dioxide and reduce noise levels.
