VS2011#9 - "Sloped and Complex Green Roofs" by Richard Hayden

No longer are green roofs relegated to the world of flat roofs. Architects and designers are discovering the nearly unlimited design potential of incorporating green roofs as an integral part of the composition of the building. From simple sloped roofs to complex combinations of curves and planes, green roofs are being blended with architecture in very unique ways. This presentation outlines the challenges and solutions to helping architects and designers meet their design intent for their buildings. Examples of a variety of sloped green roofs from around the United States will be explored to outline the technical solutions that were developed by American Hydrotech to achieve the desired result. Architects and designers will be able to see that their imagination is the only limiting factor in blending green into their designs.
