In the Netherlands, bricks are learning to breathe.
A green-tech innovation is transforming ordinary buildings into living walls — by designing bricks that invite moss to grow directly on their surface.
These moss-friendly bricks require no soil, no maintenance — just rain and wind.
And what they offer in return is remarkable:
Purify urban air
Cool buildings and streets by up to 7°C
Capture and store CO₂ naturally
In the city of Leiden, schools and bus stops are being cloaked in moss — turning everyday walls into air-cleaning, climate-cooling ecosystems.
This isn’t just decoration. It’s a defense against urban heat and pollution.
A quiet, green revolution is rising — brick by brick.
