Design of Bio-Receptive Vertical Architectural Surfaces

Full Article:

In the search for proposals and solutions related to the design of architectural envelopes, such as vertical gardens, there is data that shows that these strategies favor the improvement of the thermal capacity of these architectural skins (Oberndorfer et al., 2007). By means of passive strategies, this research aims to applied innovation in the development of a prototype of a bio-receptive surface that generates the favorable conditions for the proliferation development of vegetative agents, using concrete as a supporting base and modifying their pH levels with the objective of generating a balance for the proliferation of bryophytes. Through iterative experimental processes, a relationship between shape, surface and material composition is sought to generate a surface that produces bio-receptivity conditions.
