Concept: To create a complex 'wall/ surface' that is designed to support climbing plants as well as to act as a thermal screen/ barrier. A thermal screen has at least one reflective side that acts to insulate a space from extreme heat or cold as well as to maintain consistent temperatures and humidity within a space. This screen surface can double-purpose as walls for a temporary indoor/ outdoor greenhouse. Indoors, the screen could be made partially from 'seed paper'. This is a hand-made paper with plant seeds embedded in it. Scraps of this paper may be planted in soil - from which plants will grow. Solar panels may be included to power LED lighting at night.
