About [Edit]
This full-color, 160-page book reviews the ecological benefits, technical requirements, and design possibilities of vegetated roofs. Published by Schiffer Books, Green Roofs examines the possibilities and benefits of green roofs through forty case studies of exemplary green roof projects, hundreds of color photographs, and seven municipal case studies describing green roof development in Berlin, Tokyo, London, Portland, Chicago, Toronto, and New York. William McDonough, luminary and green architect, writes the opening essay that considers green roofs as part of a larger project to harmonize the natural and built environments. Other experts in the field detail the technical requirements, architectural history, and design possibilities of vegetated rooftops.
