Thesis

The increasing demand for environmentally friendly construction methods also has an impact on façade design. The establishment of plants in the building envelope is often even expressly desired. Aim of the Work The purpose of the study is to develop ceramic building components, which are able to host plants in a façade. To achive this, several different geometric designs have to be made, each with a scale 1:1 prototype. Also, suitable plants need to be found, to be planted into the Bricks. In a second step, the prototypes have to be investigated over a 4-week period to evaluate them growing roots. Finally, statements have to be formulated on how a massproduction of the developed designs could look like.
