The Why Factory Workshop
In the last decade, sustainability has become a buzz word in all fields, specifically in the building arts. It’s known that green has the capacity to increase biodiversity, help cool cities and help with water related issues etc. But is it quantifiable? Will an all green city solve issues related to climate change and pollution? In this study the aim was to explore the pros and cons of this controversy by quantifying these assumptions. 1- the world was classified in 14 biomes. 2- mapping of biophysical ecosystem services. 3- sorting of plants from all biomes. 4- typology of covering. 5- visualisation of these green cities.
