Landscape design tecghniques in high-rise buildings

Irrigation

Plastic hose is used for irrigation.

Maintenance

The gap between building façade and the green wall was served as the maintenance area.

Plant Species

Bougainvillea Parthenocissus quinquefoila Plumbago capensis

Wind direction is SE-NW during summers and is NESW during winters. No extra space is required for irrigation purpose. Gap should be provided for maintenance purpose between building façade and green wall. Any plant species can be used as per availability in India. Such as: Bougainvillea Abelia

The emerging megacities have influenced the ecosystem and the urban environment at a very large scale. The Heat Island Effect caused by the diminishing of green areas and more and more man-made surroundings such as buildings, roads, etc. The shortage of lands tends the design ideas to convert to verticality. All the buildings today are generally categorized as High-Rise buildings. The growing population hinders the availability of land for a lavish foreground landscape design. Other countries had established well with these landscape techniques to reduce the energy efficiency of the building. India somewhat does not have any of the high-rise building which incorporates landscape techniques. Since in a high-rise building the space which can be used for landscaping is walls, roofs and sometimes balconies, so all the techniques are related to them. This dissertation deals with the analysis of these landscape techniques in high-rise office buildings on the basis of specified climate.
