On April 7, the Sound Ecology team was pleased to deliver a training session at the Building Sector Training Institute (IFSB), focusing on a topic at the heart of today’s ecological challenges: living walls.

This session was part of the IFSB’s continuing education program designed to guide building professionals towards more sustainable practices. The training covered the technical, ecological, and aesthetic principles of living walls, as well as their role in regenerating urban biodiversity.

Living walls are not merely decorative elements: they help improve the microclimate, manage rainwater, and enhance air quality, while creating microhabitats for insects and birds. Through practical examples, participant feedback, and discussions, we explored the key success factors for these systems from both technical and ecological perspectives.

At Sound Ecology, we believe that integrating living systems into the built environment is essential to reconcile land development with biodiversity conservation. These exchanges with construction professionals are vital to advancing practices and reimagining the city as a living ecosystem.
