In a built environment characterized by high density, such as that of cities, the natural environment has been condemned to prosper only in areas intended for this purpose: parks, gardens, etc. The plant world is not necessarily linked to the presence of soil. Rock can support rich plant and animal biodiversity. Natural stone masonry provides a home for various plant and animal forms and allows a natural presence on vertical surfaces. The aim of this project is to develop mixtures of plants and to use natural stone masonry as a support for nature in the city.
