Vancouver's 6 Acre Living Green Roof
Loading...
Uploaded by davidmbudge on Aug 2, 2009
The roof of the Vancouver BC Convention Centre is covered with over 2.5 hectares (6 acres) of native grassland. Usually closed to the public, we were able to get a tour and interview with the landscape architect of the project, Bruce Hemstock.
This is part 1 of the "Growing Cities" documentary series shot while traveling in the USA and Canada - June 2009. 2 person crew. Canon 5DmkII and Zoom H4n.

They stole the idea from the Coombs market! Except in Coombs, they have goats on the roof! heehehe.... Nice video, great work!

i worked on the building adjacent to this and the concept of green roofs with waterproofing have been out for about 10 years now, its a joy to see such a large project underway with this waterproofing technology, all buildings should incorporate this for the aid of the planet

Very nice concept - Would love to see this kind of living roof on more buildings. Both because of ecological and aesthetic reasons.
