Стены покрытые мхом - решение проблемы загрязнения воздуха в городах

Respyre is a ‘Bioreceptive’ concrete that can transform dull grey façades into green and living expanses, increasing local biodiversity and providing the many valuable benefits nature can offer society. Changing dull grey concrete into a green and living respiratory system Amsterdam-based Respyre — a TU Delft spin-off focusing on the valorisation of a unique scientific cross-over between material science and biology — have developed a concrete and plaster that accommodates the growth of moss on not only new but also existing bare concrete walls. Any surface covered in moss becomes a natural respiratory system for the city; holding up to 5 litres of water per square metre to keep buildings cool, and sequestering C02 from the air. Moss is perfect for green facades as it has rhizoids instead of roots. As opposed to roots, Rhizoids are nondestructive, leaving the façade in perfect condition with very little maintenance. It creates a space for insects stimulating biodiversity in cities. The moss also helps solve air- and noise pollution, contributing to the well-being of an urban environment and its inhabitants… and it looks fantastic!
