A green wall is a wall partially or completely covered with vegetation that includes a growing medium, such as soil. Most green walls also feature an integrated water delivery system. Green walls are also known as living walls, biowalls, ecowalls, or vertical gardens. Such walls may be indoors or outside, freestanding or attached to an existing wall, and come in a great variety of sizes. As of 2012, the largest green wall covers 2, 700 square meters (29, 063 square feet or more than half an acre) and is located at the Los Cabos International Convention Center.[1] Green walls have seen a recent surge in popularity. Of the 61 large-scale outdoor green walls listed in an online database provided by greenroof.com, 80% were constructed in or after 2009 and 93% dated from no later than 2007.[2] Many Iconic green walls have been constructed by Institutions and in public places such as Airports and are now becoming common, to improve the aesthetics.[3] For example: Edmonton International Airport(Canada), [4] Changi International Airport (Singapore) [5] & Chhattrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai, India) [6] While Patrick Blanc is sometimes credited as having developed the concept in the late 1980s, [7] the actual inventor is Stanley Hart White, a Professor of Landscape Architecture who patented a green wall system in 1938.[8]
