Urban development reduces vegetation, intensifying heat islands and climate-related risks. While urban re-greening is gaining attention, strategic tree planting faces major obstacles due to limited soil volume and underground infrastructure. Traditional green spaces also require significant time and investment to yield benefits. This highlights the need for innovative solutions that align with existing urban forms.

BamX Piccard proposes a modular, lightweight gridshell system that integrates vegetation into complex cityscapes. Based on elastic gridshell principles, it minimizes material use while adapting to spatial constraints. These structures support climbing plants and offer a replicable, flexible approach to urban greening beyond conventional strategies.
