2 1 Breathe Living Wall Assembly DIRTT brings its sustainable, modular, fl exible approach to the world of Living Walls with Breathe. This DIRTT system is a way for everyone to introduce living plants into their interiors to take advantage of the beauty, air cleaning attributes and kick of extra oxygen plants provide, all without using up precious real estate. Breathe is designed to allow plant pot modules to cantilever into the patented DIRTT support extrusions. Plants are easily added, moved and removed without disrupting adjacent plants. A straightforward plumbing system is also integrated with Breathe making watering simple. The self-contained pipes and troughs use gravity to send water through the system. Wicks in each pot allow all plant species to absorb what they need. After the last pot, any remaining water is captured standing water is not an issue for the plants or the occupants of the building. Each pot literally contains the plants to limit diseases and allow for easy removal, inspection or reconfi guration.
