Titan事务所为南特大学研究中心设计了一个绿色立面系统，作为300平方米办公空间的一部分。装置将绿植悬挂在不锈钢管上，并使其与既有的混凝土立柱相连接。这种水培植物模块依靠维持液来发挥功效。

Titan has completed a green façade system for the Research Center of the University of Nantes, as part of the redevelopment of a 300m² office space, originally designed for shops.  The installation features hanging plants on stainless steel tubes connecting the existing concrete columns. The efficiency of this hydroponic model lies in the optimized maintenance solution.

为了保证植物的寿命，土工布材质的容器中置入了滴水灌溉系统，该系统是设计团队与南特植物园的前园长、植物学家Claude Figureau合作设计。构成容器的织物直接与植物的根带相连，使植物能够根据需要吸收尽可能多的水分，最终为建筑创造出一个高效的、自给自足的绿色外衣。建筑与生态之间的协同运作能够充分满足环境质量的具体要求。

To ensure the longevity of the plants, the hanging geotextile containers use a watering system for subsurface irrigation designed in collaboration with botanist Claude Figureau, former Director of Plant Garden Nantes. Through a textile component directly connected to the root zone, the plants absorb as much water as needed, thus effectively creating a self-sufficient green coat. The synergy between architecture and ecology answers to the specific requirements of the quality of the environment.

该立面最初被构想为一个多功能的装饰绿墙，能够通过吸收二氧化碳来改善空气质量。

The façade initially conceived as a showcase serves multiple functions. It is used to improve the air quality, as the vegetation absorbs carbon dioxide and produces oxygen.

绿墙被沿着既有的玻璃立面装置，旨在提高办公空间的隐私性，建立与街道相隔的视觉屏障，同时通过模糊室内外的界限来营造不同的场景，形成兼具私密感和互动感的氛围。玻璃幕墙上的丝网印刷文字显示了不同植物的名称，邀请街上的行人与立面产生互动。装置探讨了空间与空间、以及空间与个人意识之间的关系。

Installed along the existing glass façade, our concept seeks to establish new privacy for the office spaces, providing a visual barrier from the street and anticipating different scenarios by blurring the distinction between inside and outside.  The ambiance is both intimate and interactive, presenting a moment for exploration. Screen-printings on the glass façade indicate the different plants and invite passers-by to interact with the façade.  The installation explores the relationships between the spatial relations and our individual perceptions of it.
