Modern Movement architecture employed new materials to deal with socialchallenges and industrial production. Today environmental problems are thechallenge. 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 foremergency housing, including reshaping of temporary propping systems. Greenwalls allow integrating parcels remaining empty after the collapse of buildingsthrough Pocket Parks. The earthquake impact becomes urban restructurationoccasion. A special support skeleton for the earth&seeds&geotextile in greenwall installations will be designed, and later pattented.

- Project structure : Objective 1. Improve resilience to climate change by extending the green spaces in the city, byimproving understanding on the impact of intensive construction, by developing green plans withinthe urbanism plans, especially in case of urban restructurationObjective 2. Diversification of the application domains of a geotextile product and its support, thematerial characteristics, the way they are put in oevre, as well as the plants allowed.Objective 3. Development of a green wall system to support the creation of pocket parks in place ofcollapsed buildings in an catastrophic events through the restructuration. A support system out ofwood, unlike (currently) steel and with more economic layout, will be developed.Objective 4. Development of the concept of an installation to use green walls for bringing thememory of ruins after disasters to expression.
