“Because green skyscrapers and high-rises are a bullshit non-solution to serious systemic problems.”
“But if you want greenery on a building nonetheless, do I have an idea for you – a portable, modular, scalable solution called ‘potted plants on your balcony’.”
If you don’t build with cardboard this problem is very easy to solve, its called putting a goddam Pond liner between the dirt and the structure itself.
And the weigh isn’t a issue with low buildings, say 10 to 20 floor that aren’t made from cardboard, and higher than that is inefficient in all regards anyway and should be avoided.
lol, sure, that sounds super fucking safe… 🙄
I suggest you look in to building regulations and how developers do their utmost to circumvent them before you speak with such confidence about something you clearly know nothing about… fucking pond liner smmfh… 😂🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Idk the English word for it, but there is a kind of foil that is water resistant and where roots cant go through, as long as its not a tree or something at least. Its put between the foundation and the walls to stop water from below.
Pond liner is just what the translator got out, its probably incorrect.
Also im talking about this
Not planting literal trees on balconys, that would be a structural problem, yes. But small shrubs and Twiners would do the trick as well if not better in regards of cooling and weight. They also don’t need much soil or and significantly less water.
Also can you stop spamming emojis?
That looks like fiver finger ivy.
