By urbanisation our landscape is more transformed into stone and business sites. This comes at expense of nature. In particular, business parks are ecological non places. In the evenings and weekends you don't want to be in this places. Space is scarce, why not make a combination between recreational parks and working areas? Create semi public spaces in industrial areas, take care of a good security system divided the area into zones so labour and recreation can work together.

Insulation of a building can be done on the inside, but it's better to insulate the outside of buildings. In the future we have to take care of our energy management. There are many insects hotels built out of plant material/tree trunks with holes. This principle can also be applied in a wall tile. Sparrows and starlings like to live together. Sparrows have difficulties to find good nesting places because houses are well isolated and there is no room for birds under the roof any more. A nesting wall tile can contain different formats of nest boxes.

The climate around walls can vary enormously, some stand all day in the burning sun others hardly get any sunlight. Walls are more often dry than moist, and also the wind has a big influence, how can an environment be created in which plants like to grow? A green wall tile has to be able to hold water well so wild plants can develop, but the building structuralyl has to carry the wall tiles. It is necessary to examine what proportions and which composition wild fauna mixtures need on which walls. It is intended to function as a natural ecosystem.

Why should wall shrubs form a danger for buildings? Well fixed& shielded wall tiles with shrubs can carry a lot. Small bushes can grow in the hollow areas of the tile. The shrub is never large because of the harsh climate around the wall but does provide shelter for fauna that evolves on the wall.

A constructed wetland is in fact a sand filter, planted with reed. They are often applied to purify water from industrial areas. Such a constructed wetland can also be combined with a parking lot. A profit situation, the water from the parking lot infiltrates in the Middle Strip constructed wetland which by bacterial cultures around the aerial roots purifies the parking water. In the constructed wetland there is room for shore plants. This creates diversity in the water treatment field for further development of a variety of insects for example.

On large car parks where every parking space is needed It is difficult to develop ecological spaces. a green roofing would be a solution. The challenge is to create a structure which is so light, the green roof above the car park is as a tarpaulin. Study will be needed to calculate if constructional wise this is possible. Also the substrate has to have the capacity to hold water for a long time, the polymers have to be very strong.
