Copper can be found in various equipment, building materials, and consumer products. When buildings are used, copper can enter wastewater in different ways. It is challenging for occupants to remove copper physically or chemically since they can potentially reduce copper levels through yard phytoarchitecture. This study aims to formulate houseplants' suitability to become decorative plants for the yard phytoarchitecture, simultaneously as onsite sanitation. This study identified the copper deconcentration pathway in wastewater by studying published works-based research. Literature was collected and selected based on recency, accessibility, and the relationship among copper, wastewater, and plants. The study findings show that processing copper by plant has the greatest opportunity to be implemented on a building scale. The yard phytoarchitecture system involves arranging plants in the yard, which serves both as a decorative feature and a way to treat the building's wastewater. It can be used on dry yards or ponds and only requires a small amount of land. The plants used should have low leaf density and high root density. It plays a dual role consisting of onsite sanitation infrastructure and yard aesthetics, which mutually strengthen the environmental health locally and positively effect on a larger scale.

“…However, many people travel, so roads may be used most of the time, which in turn causes transportation pollution all the time. In addition, outdoor pollutants, including transportation activities, are more numerous and higher in concentration than housing [10][11][12][13][14]. Furthermore, the movement of road traffic is related to various social and economic interests, both of which express dynamics and environmental pressures.…”

Public roads and all their activities interact with the environment outside. The interaction was related to transportation pollutants and their recipient bodies, plants, air, and soil. The interaction of these environmental components can produce air pollution and requires prevention solutions. Plants are considered capable of weakening pollution; thus, this study aims to design a novel phytoarchitecture for public roads where roadside plants reduce air pollutants. The method for achieving this goal was based on selected empirical research, which was searched, collected, and selected using the Mendeley reference manager platform with the search phrase: roadside plants, heavy metals, and gaseous pollutants. The selection of hundreds of literatures was carried out in three screening stages. The organisation of this literature review used the ecological approach of transportation pollutants and roadside plants. With the intended methodology, the results of this study indicate that gaseous pollutants and heavy metals arise from public road transportation activities. Traces of pollutants can be measured on the surrounding land and especially on plants. There are five functional characteristics of plants, including phytotreatment, which reduces air pollution; phytoaccumulation to store pollutants; phytoindicators to indicate the presence of excessive concentrations; phytotoxicity in response to toxic levels; and phytomonitoring, which can provide early warning system. Finally, an ecological design is proposed for new roads and improving, operating, and maintaining existing roadside plants. In conclusion, the plant roles can be applied as criteria in the architectural design of public roads.
