Course Outline:
I. Regional challenges inherent in the site’s natural features as well as sun-light, wind, moisture, and soil
present construction challenges in Green Wall design:
a. Canvas and Palette: As artistic and design oriented Landscape Architects are, how do we inform
ourselves as to what works best to create a successful green wall? How do we think ahead to
modify our landscape architecture designs to incorporate successful Green Walls.
b. Creating the right micro-climate for the Green Wall is important to success and longevity. What
features of the Landscape can help insure a successful green wall, that is equally beautiful?
c. As we manipulate the site to emphasize the existing site characteristics (earthwork, architecture,
planting), how can we better incorporate green wall technology?
