The aim of the inaugural edition, organised under the High Patronage of Prince Albert II and attended by Patrick Blanc, biologist, botanist, CNRS researcher and inventor, in 1986, of green walls, is to create a symbiosis between ecology and art.
“Creating a healthier environment in our towns and cities improves air quality. Everything on our planet is connected. Installing green walls in urban and interior architecture isn’t just about decoration, they offer a host of benefits. These walls help to lower the outside temperature and combat the ‘heat island effect’ in cities,” explains Helga Piaget, president of the Monegasque non-profit Passion Sea.
There will also be professional gatherings, round tables, conferences, an exhibition of works of art by children from all over the world on the theme of respect for our planet, all overseen by Passion Sea, and a charity auction on 1 December, led by Wannenes Monaco.
