Description
|
|
|
|
Green roofs—an actual layer of living, grassy earth covering and insulating your home—continue to generate enormous interest and enthusiasm among architects, landscape designers, and urban planners. This well-illustrated guide explains how to effectively adapt proven European green-roof technology to the variable and extreme North American climate, and how to design projects that will function and endure as successfully as those in Germany, Switzerland, and other countries where green roofs are common. It offers options regarding structure, function, horticulture, and logistics, as well as surveys of actual projects and analyses of why they have or haven't succeeded.
