Summary:
This book presents an overview on environmentally sound building and planning practices and includes project descriptions, photographs, and detailed drawings that demonstrate that sustainability is not just good for the planet, but also offers new opportunities for creativity and innovation.

Summary:
There is scarcely any construction principle that can boast an equally extensive array of positive effects than the greening of the exterior and interior building envelope. "Green, greener, greenest : façades, roofs, indoors offers a comprehensive survey of a range of façade, roof and interior greenings. Here, it is plants that are the main building material: neatly arranged, they complement minimalist high-rise architecture; wildly rampant, they serve as an extravagant element of interior design; and through creative composition, they come to form a sophisticated work of art. The cross-disciplinary juxtaposition of technological progress and creative design is never far from view. Whether in an urban setting or part of a natural landscape, the projects showcased in this volume prove that there is still limitless creative potential in architectural greening, posing new and exciting challenges for designers and landscape architects alike.

Summary:
This hybrid essay involves theory, history and building design. The narrative thread places very particular emphasis on the period between 1850 and 1950, a time at which new techniques and aesthetic rules came to the fore, leading to the development of a concern with turning the roof into an habitable space. "Dwelling on the Roof" ends with a selection of projects spanning the past fifty years which have continued to develop this theme. Included are works by modern architects such as Alejandro de la Sota and Giancarlo De Carlo, as well as works by contemporary architects such as Foreign Office Architects and Kazuyo Sejima.
