Vert è un arredo urbano di legno che rinfresca la città

A modular red oak structure presented by AHEC, DiezOffice and OMC°C at the London Design Festival supports the growth of different plants to lower temperatures and promote biodiversity in public areas

Al London Design Festival AHEC, Diez Office and OMC°C have presented Vert , a modular structure in red oak wood, designed to integrate into urban areas and improve the liveability of public spaces by cooling them locally and improving their biodiversity.

Vert is an urban cooling concept

The principle on which it is based Vert is very simple: introduce plants in different species inside the street furniture so that the covers become tools for cooling the temperature at a local level, outdoors.

Transform this principle in a modular, flexible, light, transportable object and suitable for different situations was the challenge of the multidisciplinary team involved in project.

The prototype presented at the London Design Week is a structure composed of "sails", triangular elements that, rotating on fixed points, also allow the system to transform, adapting to various urban contexts creating street furniture different. Thanks to its modularity and the shape of its sails, Vert can be expanded or modified according to needs, without losing efficiency or resistance.
