*수직 정원 [ Urbanarbolismo ] Vertical Garden

랜드스케이핑의 경계를 허물다.
수직으로 형성된 랜드스케이프는
중력의 경계를 무너뜨린다.
클럽 외부공간에서 발생하는 소음이 중정 그리고 인근 아파트로
퍼지는 것을 막기 위한 방음벽으로 디자인된
버티컬 가든은 단순 기능적 설치물이
어떻게우리에게 영감을 주고
색다른 공간감을 느끼게 해주는지
 보여주는 좋은 프로젝트이다.

세라믹 홀안에 심겨진 가지각색의
다양한 식물은 컬러풀한 색채로 어느 디자이너의
컬러코딩보다 더 다채롭게 호텔의 백색월과
푸른 하늘과 어울린다.
이렇게 자연을 대하는, 다루는 디자인의
경계는 없다. 지금이라도 정형화된 콘크리트 박스
건물들 사이로 버티컬 가든을 설치하고 싶다.

We all know Ibiza is well known for its night life, but it may also become known for it's vertical gardens -- Spanish landscape experts Urbanarbolismo just completed a gorgeous living wall in the courtyard of the Ushuaia Ibiza Hotel. The vertical garden serves as a sound barrier for the outdoor club while creating a colorful, living addition to the crisp white hotel and bright blue skies. The wall also features an innovative low-tech, low-maintenance watering system developed with the help of Alijardín and Forest Alicante.

The vertical garden was designed to create a sound barrier between the club's outdoor central courtyard and nearby apartments.

As the plants grow to maturity, they will help absorb more sound and create a more intimate space within the courtyard.

An undulating terra-cotta-colored wall surrounds the courtyard, and a smaller living wall serves as the entrance on the outside.

The planting medium is composed of a series of stacked ceramic hexagonal elements filled with soil and plants.

The wall is planted with euphorbia, echeveria, aeonium, kalanchoe, sedum and sedeveria -- varietals that thrive in the warm, mediterranean climate of Ibiza.

As the wall matures a rainbow of colors will emerge and different plants will bloom throughout the year.

Urbanarbolismo also developed a low-tech irrigation system that moves away from complex automated watering system.

he ceramic elements are installed so that they are angled in towards the wall, allowing water to collect in each tube. According to Urbanarbolismo this is the first vertical garden of its kind, and they see the concept taking root with home gardeners.
