As green design becomes more common and sought after, a beautiful living wall has many advantages. For starters, it is physically appealing to the eye. Different plants can be used to create images, logos, or just an attractive compilation of greenery.

This image is from the PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. headquarters in Pittsburgh. It is a  soil-based wall at 2,380 sq. ft. in size, consisting of 602 panels that are 2′ x 2′.

The benefits of green walls are as abundant as green roofs. They reduce the heat island affect given off in urban environments, filter the water that runs through the plants, helps control the indoor temperature of the buildings, and absorbs noise.
