Parabienta green wall. Developed by the Japanese companies Shimizu Corporation and Minoru Industrial Company, it employs a sheet of ­polyester-blended soil, heated with steam, moulded together, and mounted in a modular steel frame. Complete with an irrigation system that senses changes in temperature and the soil’s moisture content, it adjusts water and nutrient flow accordingly.
