Sustainable Concrete Wall Design with Bioreceptive 3D Printing
Sustainable Concrete Wall Design with Bioreceptive 3D Printing
At Vertico, we’re exploring how sustainable architecture and advanced robotics can work hand in hand. This bioreceptive concrete wall is designed to support moss growth, acting as a natural cooling layer and blending architectural concrete with ecology.
Printed using our in-house 3D concrete technology, this wall isn’t just a prototype — it’s a real example of how we can create living, responsive building materials that reduce environmental impact and enhance the built environment.
We tested two variations:
- One with a smooth, untreated surface
- One with a patterned texture — which significantly improved moss attachment and moisture retention
This project moves beyond aesthetics. It proposes a future where facades function as ecosystems, helping cities adapt to environmental challenges through material intelligence.
The result? A simple wall that breathes, cools, and grows — all without losing its structural clarity.
Collaboration
This project was made possible through the expertise and partnership of:
