Sustainable Façades Get Greener

July 11, 2024
The terra-cotta-and-moss screen wall is supported by a backup curtain wall that allows building occupants to view the moss as growth spreads to the back of the panels.

At the 2023 Architectural Ceramic Assemblies Workshop in Buffalo, New York, our façade engineers were part of a team that developed a prototype for a curtain-wall-supported green screen-wall system that promotes moss growth on terra cotta. Moss has many eco-friendly properties, such as exceptional carbon-sequestration, water-retention and air-filtration capabilities, and it readily adapts to varying ecosystems. And root-free moss requires less maintenance than green walls that use other plants.
