“A green façade system must meet the same technical requirements as the rest of the construction systems, within the architectural project.” This is the idea that has driven us to continue developing our system and advising prescribers since our beginnings.

In this sense, many hotels are adopting “green” and eco-friendly options. The World Tourism […]
Housing more than half of the world’s population, cities generate 50 percent of the global waste and consume two-thirds of the world’s energy. Cities emit 80 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, putting them on the frontlines of climate shocks such as heatwaves, flooding, and health-related problems. Moreover, more than 80 percent of the annual global costs of adaptation to climate change are estimated to be […]
The World Health Organization recommends that every city should have at least 9m2 of green area per inhabitant (50 m2 would be ideal). But as the population concentrates in large metropolitan areas, will it be possible to guarantee this amount of green area? In Europe, around 75% of the population already lives in urban centres, […]
The population growth in the urban area, the development and modernity of the cities that are accompanied by cement and housing infrastructure, this causes that the green areas and forests are increasingly smaller, with the consequent decrease in air quality. An alternative to the lack of space for garden design and reforestation is the construction […]

Our technical team ensures that everything is perfectly detailed in each project. In addition, our on-site technical assistance provides you with all the support you need to achieve the best result in each installation. Our […]
Despite having a previous study of the atmospheric and microclimatic conditions of the vertical garden, it is essential to analyse its development during the first months after its installation and thus be able to detect anomalies, which should be investigated to avoid future problems. Special attention should be paid to the following items: […]
Celebrate an International Day gives us the opportunity to raise awareness about things related to issues of interest, such as human rights, sustainable development or health.

In 1982, the WHO defined Sick Building Syndrome as a set of discomforts and diseases caused by poor ventilation, temperature imbalance, ionic and electromagnetic charges. It also considers suspended particles, gases and vapors of chemical origin, and bioaerosols, among other causative agents. These produce a set of symptoms in at least 20% of the inhabitants […]
Contenidos A highly urbanized world Our world is increasingly urban, so much so that it is estimated that 60% of the planet’s population will reside in cities by 2030. This trend has harmful consequences to the environment and sustainability, since, according to UN data, despite the fact that cities occupy only 3% of the planet’s […]
Designing a vertical garden is integrating nature into your projects, devising and projecting a new construction taking into account the integration of a construction system that will bring numerous benefits in terms of sustainability and all that it entails. In Terapia Urbana we have developed a modular system for vertical garden, which improves the development […]
In the last decades we are witnessing an important change in the big metropolises or cities; the increase in population and its density has led to the urbanization of large spaces and the construction of residential buildings, entertainment and sports centers, causing a significant reduction in green areas and affecting ecological systems. The noise, air […]
