Research Abstract

This study aims to create an environmental coordination space in architectural exterior using moss. Results are as below : 1) Mosses on artificial exterior materials were surveyed. The attachment and growing forms were grouped into about 20 types and 10 typical patterns were extracted. 2) The heat and water balance of moss were measured by outdoor experiment using 3 type mock-ups. 3) The two-stage semantic differential method using human imagination was proposed. Moss images in traditional and modern landscapes were extracted using the method.
