Going Vertical: The History of Green Walls
 - Vertical gardens date back to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon (605BC)
 - Important for the Art & Crafts and Modern style movement in Europe
 - Used green façades to make the garden transition smoothly over the house by the Jugendsil movement in the early 20th century but decreased in the 1930’s due to concerns
 - Patrick Blanc is the first to design ‘modern’ pattern but the concept was already theorised by Stanley Hart White in 1937
 - Help reduce energy loss and provide a green space where space is already scarce
 - Indoor vertical gardens are scientifically proven to help people psychologically

    Thank you. If you would like a more detailed approach I suggest you have a look at the book "Vertical Gardens: Bringing the City to Life by Anna Lambertini & Jacues Leenhardt" as well as "Interior Gardens by Haike Falkenberg" which were of great help for my studies.
