In the Sant’Antonino district of Treviso, the vertical garden created for the Istituto Comprensivo “L. Carrer” stands as a tangible example of urban regeneration through nature and design. The installation integrates seamlessly with the school’s new extension, enhancing both the visual impact and environmental performance of the structure, transforming a bare wall into a living ecosystem.
Composed of 950 plants across 38 square meters, the green wall features 12 botanical species chosen to ensure biodiversity, seasonality, and long-term resilience. The inclusion of edible and aromatic plants—such as strawberries—encourages students’ curiosity and offers a daily learning opportunity rooted in nature.
This project was developed through a co-design process with the Municipality of Treviso, aiming to return to the local community a healthier, more welcoming, and sustainable public space. The vertical garden helps to purify the air, regulate surface temperatures, and foster a greater awareness of environmental care.
The integration of green design within educational spaces clearly demonstrates how biophilic solutions and plant-based architecture can positively influence student well-being and the urban landscape, positioning the school as a local benchmark for architectural and social sustainability.
