  • Abstract in English : Modern Movement architecture employed new materials to deal with social challenges and industrial production. Today environmental problems are the challenge. Resilience to natural hazards, including climate change, is such one. Geotextiles are employed in large landscape (ash/garbage deposits, river sides), but planting on building surfaces is possible. We focus on green walls/roofs for emergency housing, including reshaping of temporary propping systems. Green walls allow integrating parcels remaining empty after the collapse of buildings through Pocket Parks. The earthquake impact becomes urban restructuration occasion. A special support skeleton for the earth&seeds&geotextile in green wall installations will be designed, and later pattented.
