????2.?It covers an area of 350 square meters with 1,374 PEG modules, and grows plants that would adjust the local climate, such as Ophiopogon japonicas, Sedum lineare and Nandina domestica 'Firepower' and the decorative patterns of Baba Nyonya from Singapore, to echo the architectural style.
Comments on the Solution
Singapore is a leader in skyrise greenery. The Singapore government through the National Parks Board (NParks) as well as Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) encourages building owners to green their rooftops, ledges, and facades by installing vegetation for environmental benefits and to enhance the city’s image.
