We are working in a LEED project which we are pursuing this pilot credit of Designing with Nature, and we are wondering if vinyl in indoor walls with natural representations of leaves of trees and shrubs could be one of the five strategies?

We understand that these elements could be a connection with the nature through natural analogues and evocation of forest elements as artwork and ornamentation.

Thanks in advantage

I don't know the answer to your question but the word VINYL jumped out of the page. What kind of vinyl is being used on your indoor walls? Thanks.

Hi Antonio, Yes, this strategy should be accepted. It is one of the examples listed in 14 Patterns of Biophilic Design by Terrapin Bright Green.

Hi Aleksandra
Thanks for your confirmation we hope so that this strategy may be accepted, we have proposed it among other strategies, because is an strategy used normally in buildings with additional biophilic features implementation.
