The existing site located next to the railroad and highway traffic. For the comfort of the new building occupant, I thought it is necessary to some type of screen system to reduce the amount of the dusts and the noise that can enter into the building. So, upon my research there are products called green screen panels that can receive flowering and deciduous vines planted into the screen to reduce dusts and to improve the air quality. Not so much for aesthetic but I think this system is crucial for the comfort, and integrated well with the overall design.

Felix, your intentions are good. Now I would like you to take a look at the web page you posted and tell me which one of the plants (there is a long list of recommended plants) likes to grow on the north side in New England?
According to the landscape architect that I discuss with, the type of plant/vines that can grow in the screen and do it's job are wisteria, boston ivy, english ivy, or clematis. for big plants:Evergreen plants are row of yews (taxus species), then a row of pines (pinus species) or spruce (picea species) followed by a decidious tree - oak or maple (quercus or acer species).
