Abstract:
A main structure that can be constructed using either solid steel assembly (32) or reinforced concrete assembly (33) acts as the main structural component for new and remodel construction. The main structure whether it uses reinforced concrete assembly (33) or steel assembly is comprised of cells of equilateral size and each cell has a passage between inner and outer wall created using this method of construction. The inner wall uses the passages to secure accompanying structures and systems to a wall that use this structural system. The outer wall uses the passages to secure retaining assembly (34) to the structure. Retaining assembly (34) holds a strata of soil to the wall and creates plateaus along face of outer wall. The plateaus created by securing retaining assembly (34) to main assembly's (32) or (33) give vegetation a place to be planted and secured to a wall that incorporate the construction method of this invention. The passages between the inner and outer walls also nurture the vegetation attached to a structure built using this invention's method of construction by allowing direct access to the roots. By allowing direct access to the roots of the vegetation planted on a structure utilizing the construction method of this invention each plant can receive the optimum amount of irrigation, drainage, and fertilizer.
