Vertical
Garden
Our project draws inspiration from the geometric shape of pollen grains found in nature. By applying principles of biomimicry, we chose to replicate this natural structure using equilateral triangles. This choice guided our exploration, ranging from three to five sides (triangle, square, pentagon). The resulting pentagonal shape was inspired by platonic solid pollen grains.

Pollen Geometry.
In our vertical garden design, we prioritize plants such as bluemink, milkweed, and verbena that attract pollinators. This selection ties back to our initial inspiration from pollen geometry.
