POLICY
LIVING WALL
ACHIEVES PUBLIC
ART STATUS IN
CALIFORNIA OPENING
UP NEW FUNDING
OPPORTUNITIES
BY SERENE BUCKLEY AND AKEENA LEGALL
As we move into a new decade,
architects, urban planners and
civil engineers have been forced
to grapple with introducing
new environments that not
only innovate on the principles
of design, but also tackle the
socio-political issues of our
time, like inclusion, equity and
climate change.
W
hile U.S. cities and policies are embarking on more
urban greening initiatives to address these issues in part,
an increasing trend taking hold in municipalities is to
invest in a more ephemeral form of civic development-
the artistic and cultural economy.
In the fall of 2019, Urban Ecotones - an interior living
wall installation in Oakland, California, by David Brenner,
founder and principal of Habitat Horticulture - became the
first living wall to meet the requirements of public art status by
a US city. Traditionally thought of within the realm as green

infrastructure, this new designation for living walls demarcates
an innovative application for urban greening made possible by
the Oakland's Public Art for Private Development requirements.
Through creative public/private partnerships and progressive
thinking to capture the artistic momentum of Brenner's work for
a civic stage, the 19 x 34-foot living wall is now part of the city's
permanent public art collection. The stunning design features more
than 25 colorful and intertwining plant species woven to reflect
the interplay of Oakland's eclectic communities. Mingling tones,
textures and varying depths of field form an abstract interpretation
