Live Screen Self-Sustaining Vertical Garden

Live Screen Self-Sustaining Vertical Garden is an innovative architectural and furniture design solution that revolutionizes indoor plant cultivation through a sophisticated vertical hydroponic system. This sculptural planter system comprises tiered, organic-shaped pods designed to accommodate various vegetation types while optimizing space utilization in urban environments. The system's sophisticated engineering incorporates a self-irrigating mechanism that operates through a modified drip hydroponic system, concealed within its powder-coated aluminum and steel structure. The design employs submersible pumps that distribute water from an internal reservoir to the top tier, utilizing gravity for subsequent pod irrigation, while LED lighting embedded in the base serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. The system's innovative approach to urban gardening employs a soilless medium combining lava rocks and coconut husks, eliminating soil-borne diseases while promoting optimal plant health. This groundbreaking design, which won an Iron A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category, addresses contemporary challenges of urban living by integrating nature into interior spaces while promoting biodiversity and improving air quality. The system's modular and customizable nature allows for versatile applications in various spatial contexts, while its self-sustaining features, including timer-controlled irrigation and energy-efficient water distribution, make it an exemplary solution for modern sustainable living. The design's significance lies in its ability to democratize urban gardening while maintaining aesthetic appeal, effectively bridging the gap between functional design and environmental consciousness.
