This means that the surfaces are not only drier but remain clean longer. And it takes far longer for unattractive discolouration caused by algae, fungi and bacteria to become visible on façades treated with StoLotusan. In addition to StoLotusan Color G wall paint, there is also StoLotusan K decorative plaster.

When it seems impossible to find the solution to a problem within our cultural landscape of cities and things I have always benefitted from devices and strategies in the natural landscape. Billions of years of evolution have resulted in billions of solutions.

Now that we are smart enough to harvest the “ideas” of the natural world I take care that I do not take from the natural landscape more resources than we need… that would be stealing.

Those things and acres that we do not need must be returned to the control of natural forces. The Earth “needs” as many acres of land and sea as it can get to sustain itself.

Harvesting ideas from the natural landscape is preferable to the needless extraction of species and stuff bay an affluent culture.

The WSLF was created under the DROP plan because the DROP plan follows the principles of the natural landscape.
