Why use plants in building?
Interior landscaping has become increasingly popular during the last 30 years. Most architects now include plants in their design specification for new shopping centres, office complexes and other public areas, and they are something we all expect to see when we walk through the door. But what is it about plants which make them such an important building accessory? Aside from its looking attractive, recent research shows that the value of plants goes far beyond the purely aesthetic. Plants are good for the building and its occupants in many subtle ways and are an important element in providing a pleasant, tranquil environment where people can work or relax.
