4. Introduction
Vertical gardenalso known as ''Green wall''
Any kind of construction and support structure for growing
plants in an upwards direction.
Efficient and productive use of the existing
space.
Father of modern vertical gardening-

5. History
•The ancient concept in Babylon about2500years ago.
•First Hanging Gardens are establishedKing
Nebuchadnezzar II.
•Between 3rd BCand17th AD Romans-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 -stainless steel cable
system
•Early 1990's-
Cable and wire-rope net systems
Modular trellis panel systems
Facade systems.

11. Structural concepts of Vertical Garden .

12. Passive walls and Active living walls
Active living walls
•Apply a forced air flow through the
subs-tract.
•Considerably improves the air quality
as compared to passive living walls.
Passive living walls-
•Technological innovation.
•Modular systems.
•Rectangular or square panels
which contain a growing media

13. Modular trellis
•It is a rigid, light weight, three-dimensional panel structure.
•Made from a powder coated galvanized and welded steel wire.
•Designed to hold a green facade.
•Do not attach to the building.
•Act as a freestanding green walls

14. •Grid system are usedto support faster growing climbing
plants with denser foliage.
•Wire-nets are often used to support slower growing plants.
•Both systems high tensile steel cables are used that provides
anchors and support to the
plants.

16. ●Living walls, also called bio-walls.
●Living wall systems are composed of pre vegetated panels.
●Panels consist of plastic, expanded polystyrene, synthetic
fabric, clay, metal and concrete
●Living walls need more protection
than green facades .
Ametal frame
PVC layer
Drip and plant layer.
This system supports a variety of
plant species, perennial flowers,
low shrubs, and ferns etc .

18. Landscape walls
•These walls are an evolution of landscape 'berms' and a
strategic tool in an approach to 'living' architecture.
•Typically sloped
•Noise reductionand slope stabilization .

19. Vegetated matted walls
•The'Mur Vegetal'is a unique form of green wall
pioneered by Patrick Blanc .
•Two layers of synthetic fabric with pocketsand
growing media.
•Supported by a frame and backed by a waterproof
membrane.
•Drip irrigation

Madrid ,Spain.

20. Modular living walls
•Modular systems consist of square or rectangular panels
or curved panesthat hold growing media to support
plant materials.
•Use of modules for green wallapplications with a
number of technological innovations.

28. Growing media
•Soil, compost, vermicomost, acrylic material,cocopeat,clay
pebbels,coco chops and FYM as well as.
•Good water and nutrients holding capacity
•Good drainage
•Light weight

29. Suitable plants for vertical gardens
•There are around 15000 plants
•Nearly 150different species are arranged in the Caixa
Forum vertical gardenwho has designed by Patrick
Blanc.
•Grasses, succulents, medium height shrubs, ferns,
climbers,rambling shrub type plantsand Cactus spp

30. •Differ according to region and microclimate.
•Fibre rooting.
•Easy growing.
•Resistance to pest and disease.

45. •Method 1: By passing air in a controlled flow over the foliage.
• Method 2: By passing air behind the vertical garden.
• Method 3: By sucking air through the vertical garden.
Davis et al., 2015
Davis et al,carried out experimental work with a modified vertical garden
module, where they activated it to climatise incoming air in one of three
manners.
Method 3 showed good performance in air coling and air purification.

46. In Hong Kong, both walls and roofs were covered with
vegetation to a building and measured on a typical day of
the hottest month for that city -in this case, with a diurnal
air temperature range of 27°C minimum and 32 °C
maximum. Usual temperature is 40
