Abstract

The purpose of the publication is to focus attention on the potential of vegetation application and revitalisation of non-industrial sewage and rainwater in contemporary architectural design. Use of plants, along with the natural water resources management system in the external zone of the building and in the public space, has an ecological justification, characterised by numerous advantages, making it easier for us to live in an urbanised area. These are: simplicity of implementation, thermal and acoustic benefits, energy saving, the possibility of using local plants, health and aesthetic values, as well as low maintenance costs.
