8 Incredible Green Roofs

By Queuebot in Architecture on Sep 5, 2009 at 6:23 pm

Green roofs, or roofs made of or covered with plants, come in all shapes and forms, as you can see in this collection from all over.

Green roofs have been around for centuries in Northern Scandanavia, but they’ve really only become a popular trend in the last few decades. Recognized now for their ability to reduce the urban heat island effect while also reducing heat loss and energy consumption in winter months – among many other benefits – green roofs are really taking off, all around the world. And these aren’t just your average pieces of sod plopped on top of a building, either.

    I remember it because green rooves are awesome and I had a whinge about the ‘rooves’ and ‘roofs’ thing. Why America? Why?
