Project Overview:
Modular Moss Walls is an innovative, eco-friendly solution developed by students as part of the Citeuropass program. This project aims to create sustainable green spaces in urban environments by designing easy-to-install modular moss walls.
The Challenge:
As urban areas continue to expand, there’s an increasing need for green spaces that can improve air quality, reduce the urban heat island effect, and enhance biodiversity. Traditional green walls can be expensive, complex to install, and difficult to maintain.
Our Solution:
Modular Moss Walls offers a frugal and accessible approach to vertical gardening. By using moss, a hardy and low-maintenance plant, this system provides a sustainable way to introduce greenery into various urban settings.
The paper prototype
Key Features:
- Eco-friendly: Uses natural moss for air purification and biodiversity support
- Modular: Easy to install, expand, or relocate as needed
- Low maintenance: Moss requires minimal care compared to other plants
- Frugal design: Utilizes simple, affordable materials for construction
- Adaptable: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor urban spaces
How It Works:
- The modular frame is constructed using recycled or sustainable materials.
- A wire mesh is attached to the frame to support the moss.
- Specially selected moss species are applied to the wire mesh.
- The modules can be easily installed on walls or used as free-standing partitions.
The Team:
Modular Moss Walls was developed by a diverse team of students, combining expertise in design, biology, and sustainable urban planning.
Impact and Future Potential:
This project demonstrates how frugal innovation can contribute to urban greening and environmental sustainability. Modular Moss Walls has the potential to transform urban spaces, from offices to public areas, improving air quality and wellbeing while promoting biodiversity.
