BIG4life – Building-Integrated Greenery

Towards the
New European Bauhaus
by advancing the
lifespan of BIG Systems

BIG4LIFE aims at promoting collaborative strategies for management, maintenance, impact monitoring, and evaluation of Building Integrated Greenery (BIG) systems.

Through eight representative pilot cases, BIG4LIFE will enhance the lifespan of BIG systems by improving their long-term sustainability and the provision of ecosystem services in Mediterranean cities.

Concept
and approach

BIG4LIFE project will demonstrate that by applying xeriscaping and networking approaches, supported by the suitable smart solutions, not only the long-term viability of BIG systems is feasible, but also their positive service life, in terms of ecosystem services provided, can be enhanced.
