The Green Wall at Expo Ariana 2024 in Tehran’s upscale Fereshteh – Tehran is a striking example of sustainable design in a commercial exhibition space. The 8-square-meter hydroponic green wall was installed as a key design element in the exhibition space to enhance its visual appeal and contribute to the overall environmental quality. This project was led by Ziaeco, a leading name in the green wall industry, both as the architect and the client.
The green wall system used in this project is based on hydroponics, offering an efficient and low-maintenance solution for creating lush vertical gardens in urban environments. The hydroponic system allows for efficient water usage while promoting the growth of a variety of plants without the need for soil. This method was selected due to its sustainability and adaptability, making it the perfect choice for the exhibition space.
Method Used: Hydroponic Green Wall
In this project, Ziaeco chose to implement a hydroponic green wall system, which is an ideal solution for vertical gardens in urban settings. Unlike traditional soil-based planting, the hydroponic method allows plants to grow without soil, using a nutrient-rich water solution instead. This system is particularly beneficial in commercial settings like exhibitions, where space and water conservation are crucial.
The hydroponic green wall provides several benefits, including reduced water consumption, easy maintenance, and the ability to sustain a variety of plant species that may not thrive in traditional soil environments. By choosing this method, Ziaeco aimed to demonstrate how advanced, sustainable technologies can be applied to improve commercial spaces in both aesthetic and functional ways.
Project Challenges
Despite the many advantages of the hydroponic system, there were several challenges faced during the execution of this project. One of the main challenges was the limited space available in the exhibition area. The green wall had to be carefully integrated into the space without obstructing the flow of the exhibition or taking up too much floor space. This challenge was overcome by opting for a vertical hydroponic system that maximized the use of available space while still creating a lush and visually impactful display.
Another challenge was ensuring that the plants selected for the green wall would thrive in the specific conditions of the exhibition environment. The team at Ziaeco worked closely with plant specialists to select species that would flourish under the indoor lighting and climate conditions of the exhibition space. The hydroponic system itself helped create an environment conducive to plant growth, ensuring long-term sustainability.
Project Benefits
- Aesthetic Appeal:
The green wall created a stunning visual focal point within the exhibition space. The lush greenery provided a refreshing contrast to the surrounding displays, making the area feel more vibrant and inviting to visitors. - Environmental Benefits:
The hydroponic system not only improved the air quality by filtering out pollutants but also reduced the need for soil and minimized the use of water. This made the green wall a highly sustainable addition to the exhibition, reflecting Ziaeco‘s commitment to environmentally conscious design. - Water Efficiency:
One of the key advantages of the hydroponic system was its efficient use of water. The closed-loop system ensures that water is recirculated, minimizing waste and contributing to the sustainability of the project. - Brand Image Enhancement:
By incorporating a hydroponic green wall into the exhibition, Ziaeco not only showcased their expertise in sustainable design but also helped enhance the brand image of the exhibition space. The green wall positioned the exhibition as an environmentally responsible and modern venue, appealing to eco-conscious visitors.
