About

The Italian SME develops living walls and innovative planting solutions designed to improve the environmental comfort of buildings, contribute to urban climate mitigation, and strengthen the relationship between architecture, landscape, and biodiversity. Our systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with the building envelope and both public and private spaces, transforming vertical surfaces into active green infrastructure. The company also developed a technology solution for "Green Walls", incorporating nature-based solutions and regenerative design into the built environment in neighbourhoods. This technology can collect and reuse water, incorporating a method to increase water efficiency and a building solution to improve air quality.

Topic REGEN-01

The possibility of researching and analysing the use of materials and technologies applied to living walls. The aim would be to enhance and certify the contribution of vertical greening systems to the reduction of thermal transmittance in buildings, exploring solutions that could integrate with or complement the passive insulation systems currently in use.

Topic REGEN-03

The development of a modular system to activate underutilised vertical space above urban infrastructure (such as roads or residual spaces). This would transform these areas into green, shaded, and socially accessible environments that are replicable across various urban contexts and capable of improving microclimates, biodiversity, and the overall quality of public space.
