Facade - A language of Horizontals and Verticals

This project aims to explore the potential of facade design for high-rise buildings to become a living system that interacts with its users and the surrounding biodiversity. The project proposes an ecological and dynamic approach to facade design, envisioning the facade as a green system that adapts to changing environmental conditions through the use of planting and other living elements. The project analysis high-rise buildings and their facades as an exploration of ecological principles and planting techniques that can be applied to building facades. The vegetation is carefully selected to thrive in the local climate and to provide maximum benefits to the building's users and the environment. The design creates a system that is responsive to its environment, incorporating elements such as shading devices, rainwater collection, and natural ventilation.
