Facade Greenery: Contemporary Landscaping
ISBN: 9783037680759 / Angielski / Twarda / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The greening of faades with plants gives a piece of nature back to the city.

In that regard one does not have to always rely on the usual ivy. Other evergreen or fruit bearing plants and even exotic flowers can be used as faade decoration. In that way varied and creative greening can be created which lend a colorful aesthetic tone to the cityscape. The 50 projects presented here give an overview of this...
