Description

Prior Art:On the one hand, vertically growing green facades with ground-bound substrate or a substrate container at the bottom wall region are known. Before this, the plants grow upward via ropes, nets, rods or other ranking grids in front of the actual facade of the house. On the other hand, there are green facades integrated directly in front of or in the wall. There are no examples in which the plants are formarily and functionally part of a framing facade cladding.Problem:The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem of developing a facade system for green facades, with the aim that the plants are formarily and functionally part of a framing facade cladding.Solution:This problem is solved by the features set out in claim 1.Advantages:The system has the advantage that it can be integrated on new buildings as well as on inventory buildings. Thus, an inferior inventory building or new building can be permanently upgraded and presented positively in the external representation. The plants are not only an add-on on on the wall, but functionally and formally part of the facade. The facade thus has a positive effect on the Cl and the identity of a company and also makes an important contribution in terms of species diversity, CO2 binding, reduction of temperature and increases the domestic stay quality. These aspects will become increasingly important especially for future generations and are in some cases already prescribed at the regulatory house of construction regulations.DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURESExemplary embodiments of the invention are explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 24:FIGS. 1 and 2 show the main claim of the patent, FIGS. 1a-2b FIG. 1 ashows the elements of the new facade system in an explosion isometric view. An existing or new wall (1), plants (2) and a lower facade cladding (3A) and an upper facade cladding (3B) are seen, which are located in front of the plants (2). FIG. 1 bshows the finished facade system. The plants ( 2) are framed by the lower facade element ( 3A) and the upper facade element ( 3B) and form a design and functional unit. In this case, the system pulls over the corner of the building, i.e. over 2 sides of the building. FIG. 2 ashows the elements of the new facade system in an explosion isometric view. An existing or new wall (1), plants (2) and a lower facade cladding (3A) and an upper facade cladding (3B) and lateral facade claddings (3C) are seen, which are located in front of the plants (2). FIG. 2 bshows the finished facade system. The plants ( 2) are framed by the lower facade element ( 3A) and the upper facade element ( 3B) and the lateral facade elements ( 3C) and form a design and functional unit. The system in this case has a closed building corner and is formed over 2 sides of the building.FIGS. 3 to 5 show further advantageous embodiment variants and other examples of FIGS. 3a-3c FIGS. 3a-3c show in section and views an embodiment variant with a substrate container (10) standing on the ground, an inner substrate (11) and vertically growing plants (2A) on ropes or nets (12). The ropes or nets (12) are stretched between the substrate container and the upper facade element, but can also be fastened several times to the wall via holders (13). At the top, the ropes are ideally fastened to the holder ( 4) of the facade cladding ( 3) or another element. The lower facade covering is fastened to the substrate element. FIGS. 4a-4c and 4a-4c show in section and views an embodiment variant with soil-bound plants and plants growing vertically on ropes or nets (12). In this case, the facade cladding is connected to the wall at the bottom and at the top via holders. The ropes (12A) or nets (12B) are stretched between the lower and upper facade cladding or the lower and upper holders, but can also be fastened several times to the wall via holders (13) FIGS. 5 a- 5 c show in section and views an embodiment variant with plant elements ( 12B) located directly on the wall.FIGS. 6 to 11 show further advantageous design variants and other examples FIGS. 6a-6b and 6a-6b show a radially bent facade cladding (3) of similar size in the lower and upper regions. The outer outer edges ideally lie on one plane. FIGS. 7a-7b and 7a-7b show a radially bent facade cladding in the lower and upper region. The lower facade cladding is larger than the upper facade cladding. FIGS. 8a-8b and 8a-8b show a similarly large triangular facade cladding in the lower and upper regions. The outer outer edges ideally lie on one plane. FIGS. 9a-9b and 9a-9b show a triangular facade cladding in the lower and upper regions. The lower facade cladding is larger than the upper facade cladding. FIGS. 10a-10b and 10a-10b show in the lower and upper regions a similarly large, rounded facade cladding. The outer outer edges ideally lie on one plane. FIGS. 11 a- 11 b show in the lower and upper regions an obliquely inclined facade cladding. The lower facade cladding is larger than the upper facade cladding. The outer edges are located on one plane.FIGS. 12 to 14 show further advantageous design variants and other examples FIGS. 12a-12b and 12a-12b show that the system is independent of the height of the wall. Figures 13a-13b and 13a-13b show the lower cladding element (3A) and the upper cladding element (3B) in the form of a flat vertical sheet. In the case shown, both cladding elements do not lie in one plane, but rather have different distances from the wall ( 1). Figures 14a-14b and 14a-14b show the lower cladding element (3A) and the upper cladding element (3B) in the form of a flat vertical sheet. In the case shown, both cladding elements lie in one plane, but have different view heights.FIGS. 15 to 19 show further advantageous embodiment variants and other examples of FIGS. 15a-15b Figures 15a-15b show a water-carrying gutter (5) behind the upper cladding element (3B). From there it would be possible to conduct the water into one or more water tanks (8) behind the lateral facade claddings (3C). Figures 16a-16b, 15a-15b show a water-carrying, kinked element (6) above the upper cladding element (3B). If this is perforated in the region of the bend, the water could be passed directly onto the plants (2) and into the substrate container (10). Figures 17a-17b, 17a-15b show above the upper fairing element (3B) a water-carrying, kinked element (6) having an enlarged surface. If this is perforated in the region of the bend, the water could be passed directly onto the plants (2) and into the substrate container (10). Figures 18a-18b, 18a-18b show a lower cladding towards the wall (7) between the upper cladding element (3B) and the wall. This could be a closed element or a grid. FIGS. 19a-19b and 19a-19b show a water tank (8) behind a lateral cladding element (3c). From there the plants could be watered and treated. In general, it can be said that the plants are ideally always watered via artificial irrigation, i.e. lines are guided in the substrate containers.FIGS. 20 to 24 show further advantageous design variants and other examples of FIG. 20 FIG. 20 shows an embodiment variant with straight lower and upper facade cladding. The undersides towards the wall are also lined, so that a 3 dimensional, rectangular-like profile is formed at the top and at the bottom, between which the plants are tensioned. FIG. 21 shows an embodiment variant with straight lower and upper and lateral facade cladding at the corner. The sides towards the wall are also lined, so that a 3 dimensional, rectangular-like profile is produced all around. The cutout is sharp-edged, rectangular in view. FIG. 22 shows an embodiment variant with straight lower and upper and lateral facade cladding at the corner. The sides towards the wall are also lined, so that a 3 dimensional, rectangular-like profile is produced all around. The cutout is rectangular in view with rounded corners. FIG. 23 shows an embodiment variant with straight lower and upper and lateral facade cladding at the corner. The sides towards the wall are also lined, so that a 3 dimensional, rectangular-like profile is produced all around. The cutout is rectangular in view with rounded corners. As a special feature, one side has two frame-like cut-outs which, as in the case shown, can be rounded or else sharp-edged. FIG. 24 shows an embodiment variant with straight lower and upper and lateral facade cladding at the corner. The sides towards the wall are also lined, so that a 3 dimensional, rectangular-like profile is produced all around. The cutout is rectangular in view with rounded corners. As a special feature, one side has two frame-like cut-outs which, as in the case shown, can be rounded or else sharp-edged. A further particular feature is that in the case of doors and gates the lower cladding (3A) and the plants (2) are omitted.List of reference characters1 Wall 2 plants 2A vertically growing plants 28 wall element from plants 3 facade cladding 3A lower facade cladding 3B upper facade cladding 3C lateral facade cladding 4 Mounting facade element on the wall 5 Channel 6 water-collecting element 7 Lower cladding to the wall 8 Water tank 9 10 Substrate container 11 Substrate 12 A Ropes 12 B Nets 13 Mounting ropes / nets - wall
