  • Publication number: 20090238648
    Abstract: A geometrical structure includes a superstructure capable of maintaining its structural integrity when in contact with a similar structure, an integrated growth medium, and flora within said growth medium to grow out of the superstructure. The purpose of said geometrical structure is to facilitate the rapid assembly of walls, partitions and coverings when like geometrical structures are joined together either by placement adjacent to or by a fastening means or integrated interlocks. A combination of a plurality of such geometrical structure forms a modular construction system for walls, partitions and coverings that will grow the intended flora when water is introduced. The modular system is considered a replacement for conventional wood fences, block walls, poured concrete walls, steel partitions and erosion control systems. Further, the modular system can be easily manufactured using recycled materials from landfills and waste products.
