Thoughts? 💭 Respyre, a Dutch startup, has developed an innovative bioreceptive concrete that encourages moss to grow directly on building surfaces. Unlike traditional green walls that require soil, irrigation systems, or high maintenance, this concrete is designed with properties that naturally support moss colonization. Its porous texture, neutral pH, and water-retaining capabilities create an ideal environment for moss to thrive with little intervention. This living concrete offers multiple environmental benefits. Moss is highly effective at capturing fine dust particles and carbon dioxide, helping to purify urban air. It also retains moisture, contributing to evaporative cooling that can help reduce the urban heat island effect—a phenomenon where cities become significantly warmer than surrounding rural areas due to concrete and asphalt absorbing heat. Beyond climate and air benefits, moss-covered structures support urban biodiversity. The moss layer creates microhabitats for small insects and microorganisms, adding ecological value to areas that are otherwise devoid of green space. The surface can also help reduce noise pollution by dampening sound in busy city environments. ° ° [ By @thishowthingswork 🥰 ] ° ° Don’t forget to like, save and follow us. 🌿👍 -Follow: @alver.denizz 👈 -Follow: @lands.capearchitect Don’t forget to like, save and follow us ———————————————— Don’t forget to turn on post notifications ———————————————— Shop Our Special Collections ↓✨ archiwhimsy.com 👉Link on bio. @lands.capearchitect ———————————————— 📍Hashtags 📍 ———————————————— #architecture #arch #archviz #archlovers #architect #archilovers #architecturephotography #archdaily #architecturelovers #architectural #archidaily #archdigest #architecturedesing #design #InteriorDesign #homedesing #graphicdesing #landscape #landscapephotography #landscapelovers #landscapedesign #landscapearchitecture #instagram #garden #lovers #love #gardendesign #archilovers
