LIVING SHAD
presentation:
the Living Shad consists of an architectural arrangement of aerial vegetation cover, which uses climbing plants to cover architectural spaces and urban landscaping. To be used as shade cover for public and private spaces, living areas, parking lots, kiosks, walkways, parks and squares.
a modular system allows the shading of large areas in an organic and ecological way, providing in months the shading that a tree takes over ten years to offer, being an excellent mechanism for urban revegetation and compensatory means to deforestation.
Living Shad is an effective solution for the reduction of heat islands and air pollution, since the climbing plants are large carbon sequestration plants, providing a substantial improvement in the quality of life in urban centers, bringing more life to cities and more comfort and harmony for the population.
