Green Wall Cooling System
By Dr. Arta Yazdanseta
Materials
terracotta (Redart)
kaoline (#6 tile)
fire clay (Hawthorn Bond)
Potterbot
Parthenocissus quinquefolia (virgina creeper)
Method
The initial objective of this collaborative project was to build upon my previous published research on methods for designing vining green walls in order to utilize their free transpiration cooling power to reduce the cooling loads of buildings. This study aims to optimize this method by introducing a performative support structure using ceramic 3D printing technology.
