Description
Green Roofs examines possibilities for city-wide green roof development through 335 colour photographs, 40 case studies of exemplary green roof building projects, and 7 municipal case studies describing green roofs in Berlin, Tokyo, London, Portland, Chicago, Toronto, and New York.
This book details the ecological benefits, technical requirements, architectural history and design possibilities of vegetated rooftops. Green Roofs: Ecological Design and Construction seeks to inform and inspire communities, designers, building owners, and local leaders by highlighting the environmental and aesthetic potential of green roofs around the world. William McDonough, an architect and leader of the sustainable development movement, provides an opening essay that considers green roofs as part of a larger project to harmonize the natural and built environments.
