While it’s hard to predict the future, modern architect-designed homes and zero carbon homes often introduce industrial looks to the interior and exterior aesthetics of homes and commercial buildings, and many are already using gabion walls for structures and even aesthetic accents now. Since then, they have been employed to contain soil when leveling a building site, or as erosion control along waterfronts, and often as an acoustic screen for sound reduction along highways not as attractive as a coniferous barrier but certainly faster. They are rectangular baskets of metallic lattice filled with stones and their origin dates back to war times when they were erected to protect against artillery fire. Gabion walls are retaining walls built by stacking stone in a gabion cage or gabion basket that can serve many purposes but are most often used to create tiered or leveled ground in gardens.
