Modular wall systems with integrated growth medium

Abstract

A geometrical structure includes a superstructure capable of maintaining its structural integrity when in contact with a similar structure, an integrated growth medium, and flora within said growth medium to grow out of the superstructure. The purpose of said geometrical structure is to facilitate the rapid assembly of walls, partitions and coverings when like geometrical structures are joined together either by placement adjacent to or by a fastening means or integrated interlocks. A combination of a plurality of such geometrical structure forms a modular construction system for walls, partitions and coverings that will grow the intended flora when water is introduced. The modular system is considered a replacement for conventional wood fences, block walls, poured concrete walls, steel partitions and erosion control systems. Further, the modular system can be easily manufactured using recycled materials from landfills and waste products.

1 . A structure ready for assembly containing:
 a growth medium capable of sustaining plant life;   a flora species;   a structure capable of allowing flora to grow out from the medium:   The structure being of a geometry compatible with stacking or aligning a plurality of like units to facilitate either horizontal or vertical integration in partitioning, covering or stabilization   
   
   
       2 . The structure of  claim 1  wherein at least one face on said exterior surface may be removed, attached or hinged to enable entry into the interior of the structure. 
   
   
       3 . The structure of  claim 1 , wherein the structure includes at least one interlock and receiver to strengthen stability during and after assembly. 
   
   
       4 . The structure of  claim 1 , wherein the structure includes a plurality of interlocks and receivers to strengthen stability of the intended assembly. 
   
   
       5 . The structure of  claim 1 , wherein the structure has the capability of being attached to an additional faceplate or attachment means to facilitate attachment to alternative structures and partitions. 
   
   
       6 . The structure of  claim 1 , wherein the interlocks and receivers are positioned substantially parallel to each other of said surface of the structure. 
   
   
       7 . The structure of  claim 1 , wherein the interlocks and receivers are positioned in opposite corners of said surface of the structure. 
   
   
       8 . The structure of  claim 1 , wherein the interlock and receiver are positioned in the center of the exterior surface of the structure. 
   
   
       9 . The structure of  claim 2 , wherein the structure includes at least one interlock and receiver to strengthen stability during and after assembly. 
   
   
       10 . The structure of  claim 2 , wherein the structure includes a plurality of interlocks and receivers to strengthen stability of the intended assembly. 
   
   
       11 . The structure of  claim 2 , wherein the structure has the capability of being attached to an additional faceplate or attachment means to facilitate attachment to alternative structures and partitions. 
   
   
       12 . The structure of  claim 2 , wherein the interlocks and receivers are positioned substantially parallel to each other of said surface of the structure. 
   
   
       13 . The structure of  claim 2 , wherein the interlocks and receivers are positioned in opposite corners of said surface of the structure. 
   
   
       14 . The structure of  claim 2 , wherein the interlock and receiver are positioned in the center of the exterior surface of the structure.
