Earlier this year, Ceracasa, a spanish ceramic manufacturer, pioneering in the production wall and floor coverings, unveiled Lifewall, a modular living wall tile for exterior applications. Lifewall was designed by Emilio Llobat of Maqla Architects, Azahar Energy, and Ceracasa.
The new system uses drip-water irrigation for water efficiency and can support a variety of plantings.
Lifewall works in conjunction with another Ceracasa product called Bionictile. Bionictile is a low-maintenance, ceramic, facade tile that reacts with moisture and ultra violet rays to eat nitrogen oxides in the air.
I've seen this before on another building but I can't think where, I think it may have been a W hotel somewhere.
