Climate change, extreme weather conditions, declining biodiversity, CO2 emissions and particulate matter pollution in cities all demand action. The corresponding social change has already begun. How can architecture contribute to a related paradigm shift? In addition to being reversible and recyclable, can architecture also be green ? Can architecture be an actual ecosystem ? And what actually is blue-green architecture ? Architects need to respond to demands for utilising underused potential and discovering plants as an instrument of design - both in terms of developing urban places and spaces, as well as buildings themselves. The Practice Volume "Green Facades" offers architects the required professional knowledge in order to approach the living architecture of building envelopes in a qualified manner. This book shows how to plan and realise green architecture. It features a detailed catalogue of successful examples from practice that demonstrate the successful design and practical implementation of vertical green in urban space.
