Keywords:
Green wall, Users’ Needs, Benefits of Green Walls, Vertical Garden, Indoor Spaces.
Abstract
Green walls are constructed by covering the interior or external wall plane of a structure with plants, assuring sustainability, and functioning as a barrier to environmental hazards. Those used on the inner wall of the building are called living walls, and those used on the outer walls are called green facades. According to some studies, there are four types of green wall construction techniques: tree against wall, wall-climbing, suspended, and modular. Green facades can be built directly or indirectly, according to other studies, whereas living walls can be produced modularly or continually. Ecosystem services such as reducing noise, and dramatically enhancing air quality can all be provided by green walls. Increased cognitive function, patient recovery, and a more environmentally responsible approach are just a few examples. The study's aim is to analyze how green walls affect users, as well as to analyze and evaluate the benefits of employing green walls in spaces and advocate their usage in future projects. The qualitative research approach was used to analyze user thoughts by conducting a survey by making a literature review with keywords like green walls, the benefits of green walls, the psychological implications of green walls, interior space, and the user wants.
