  "account": "On 3 November 2026, GWS Living Art unveiled a 1,035.4 square metre green wall at Vidacity @ One-North, transforming the once concrete building into a thriving ecosystem. The green wall, spanning all facades of the Vidacity building at JTC LaunchPad @ One-North, features 400 cultivars and species arranged in a diverse planting palette that adapts to varying conditions from sun-drenched areas to shaded spaces. Designed and installed by GWS Living Art in collaboration with Vidacity, the project aims to create a living laboratory for innovation in urban ecology, with support from NParks, JTC, and researchers from NUS. Early temperature readings indicate that the green wall can significantly reduce heat in its surroundings, with an average cooling effect of 1°C throughout the day and lower temperatures on the north-facing side. This living façade not only enhances the building's aesthetic appeal but also serves as a valuable platform for studying plant responses to real-world conditions and exploring new approaches in planting, irrigation, and maintenance.",
