modular variation
The panels are ultimately all the same size, weight, shape and dimension, however their ability to fold allows them to occupy different amounts of space. In addition the folding creates depth and the more a panel folds, the less facade it uses to generate the same amount of surface area. This concept allows for a high number of plantings while still allowing for sun and air to reach the inside of the parking garage.

English ivy is favored by many gardeners and yardeners for its versatility. It is easy to grow, forms an excellent dense ground and wall clover and is able to thrive in shaded areas. It also remains green all year, bringing color to the winter season. Given the slightest encouragement, it climbs walls, trellises and trees. Because it tolerates air pollution and poor soils, it is ideal for urban settings. English ivy is typically winter hardy. When grown as a groundcover, English ivy spreads wherever it is allowed, and forms a dense mat 6 to 8 inches tall. As a climbing vine, English ivy uses its root-like holdfasts to ascend up to 80 feet, often completely covering walls.
