VS2011 - "Constructing Gardens in the Sky" by Terry McGlade

Each greenroof has its own design. Sites that appear similar are not, given wind patterns, sun patterns, slope and drainage issues.

This presentation delves into case studies of three different greenroofs both from an installation perspective and a lessons learned perspective. Biodiversity of each roof is discussed along with growth habits of the installed greenroofs. Assumptions in the original design concepts are re-evaluated vis-à-vis the existent greenroof.
