@litaariani Suggest starting a fresh thread for your question...

But to offer an idea or two... If you are certain the structure can handle the roots and the weight, I would consider Asian stand-bys like Chinese wisteria and kudzu.

I would discourage anybody from planting these here in the states, but... in Asia?

Maybe look at the evergreen clematis varieties as well.

Lot of options, as the tropics tend to have a lot of vines... but, growing them on a building tends to be problematic as the vine sends tendrils and roots and such into the construction materials and pulls the decorative trim off the structure! And heavy? Like you would not believe... I've lost a lot of mature oaks as the grape vines got too heavy and broke limbs and even the entire tops out of the trees.

A smarter choice might be to plant runner beans or climbing limas... or other edibles.
