Urban Biodiversity and Air Quality
The innovative Corolles act as more than just decorative elements; they are ecosystems that contribute to urban biodiversity. With an airy structure that promotes optimal air circulation, the solutions stop and reflect harsh sunlight while creating naturally vegetated shading. This method not only reduces the urban heat island effect but also contributes to restoring biodiversity in the heart of the city. The carefully selected plants have been chosen for their remarkable ability to absorb air pollutants, ultimately fighting air pollution and boosting the well-being of city dwellers. It sounds almost too good to be true, yet it is a practical reality that modern cities can look forward to.
