After doing some research on current designs, we decided to redesign the green/living wall while making some changes that would solve problems we found in existing walls. To start off the design process. Carlo made some renderings in Rhino, so we could get some ideas for the form we wanted our prototype to take. To address the issue of the soil falling out, we placed the plants in individual holders, which also allowed us to have different sorts of flora on the same wall.
To make this structure, we laser cut the acrylic and then bent it using a heat gun. Although we had some ideas of how we wanted the form to look, it was kind of an intuitive process which consisted of heating up certain areas, bending it in different ways and then having the group decide on which form they liked before the acrylic cooled down again.
