A green wall will be used as a sustainable system in my design. This is made from:
-waterproof membrane (diffuses air behind the wall)
-growth membrane (used in place of soil, two layers that the plants roots will sit between)
– plants (these will be native ferns as they survive well in a damp environment such as a green wall)
The wall will be watered with excess grey water that the campus produces to reduce the amount of freshwater resources the university uses.
