While the visitors stroll through the center of Jerusalem, they would have chance to admire the beauty of “Warde”. This unusual 9 meters high plant consists of giant six red flowers and is located on the Place de Valero Square. Once inflated, this artificial flowers have a wingspan of 9 meters.
The remarkable thing of this innovation is not just its aesthetics. The flowers, also serves a very practical and important purpose. When a passerby approaches anyone of them they open immediately to provide a temporary shelter to its visitors. It is therefore ideal for hot summer or rainy days.
When the motion sensors detect a visitor nearby, current is given to the “stem” of the giant flower. Then, thanks to an air compressor, the lamp pressurizes ambient air to rapidly inflate the artificial leaves:
Finally, “Warde” offers another service to the visitors of the Place de Valero Square. Situated next to a tram station, the flowers are built to be visible from any place. They may well swell all at once when the tram arrives near the station to prevent late passengers.
