Description
The land in large cities is being used more intensively, but future development possibilities are becoming more limited. One of the leading options for the future is to use flat roofs on residential buildings and office blocks as spaces for building sites and development. Rooftop buildings can intensify the existing city, inject it with new vitality and break through the mono-functionality of a neighbourhood.
This book analyses and describes the opportunities for realising projects of this kind, as well as the potential difficulties using examples of construction on top of existing buildings in the Netherlands and abroad. It will therefore be influential in establishing a benchmark for architecture and urban planning that is a necessity if rooftop architecture is to have a serious future.
