My research is about vertical greening system in both exterior and interior of building walls as my main focus point. We must take into account any adaptive use of plants and many different aspects of construction of environmental interior and outdoor projects. Designing and selecting the type of systems and plants must be taken into considerations when used in different region and climate. The financial feasibility analysis of structures, systems, and materials must also be taken carefully into accurate assessment. We must adapt the vertical greening system from basic problems to decorating details and start identifying failures in the construction and repair. This paper analyzes the different types of technology of vertical greening system features, elements and more in-depth study of the different vertical planting system based on the characteristics of the environment adaptability involving the implementation process of the green wall plants, growing medium, costs, maintenance, irrigation, construction, lighting, and many other fabric elements.Vertical greening system and their environmental benefits is the subject of studies and researches which started since the seventies. However it has not been approved as an energy saving method for the built environment. Many researches can be deepened for quantifying the environmental benefits especially for the macro-scale and technical solutions under development for vertical greening systems defined as living wall systems. Regarding the insulation properties, durability aspects, maintenance, plants choices related to the climate conditions, materials involved, the systems design can take into account many aspects, such as the integration with the building envelope, a sustainable material choice considering the environmental impact but also the symbiosis between the growing medium and the vegetation, which is a key element for the success of the greening system. Also the economic aspects related to costs savings due to possible reduction of energy needed for heating and cooling, have to be taken into account for avoiding a larger use of green envelops. The multiple benefits of vertical greening systems could allow to a more sustainable design and to compensate the lack of green spaces inside dense cities for the wellbeing of the dwellers.To understand some contemporary experiences of sustainable development concepts of architecture, we must not limit ourselves to energy efficiency but to extend to architectural and constructive quality, functionality, affordability and flexibility. Therefore, an exciting challenge for sustainable construction in the mild climate of approach may be taken in designing buildings conceived as sensitive bio-dynamic behavior of energy performance, functionality, and configuration of space.This study inspired me to: from innovative approach at stimulating architecture, innovation and transformation of energy and construction to designing and researching how different types of vertical greening system and plants would fit in and how the world would see of the new and existing architecture to the use of plants and to show how they adapt to a whole new level of sustainable design.
