Did you know that green roofs date back to ancient times? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are often cited as one of the earliest examples. Their revival in modern architecture has pushed the boundaries of sustainable design, helping with insulation and stormwater management. I’m curious what everyone’s favorite examples of green roofs are.
, it’s frustrating how underappreciated green roofs are today! The way they help with insulation and reduce stormwater runoff is so vital. I love the Chicago City Hall green roof; it’s a perfect blend of history and sustainability.
, it drives me nuts that more people don’t see how amazing green roofs are! I visited the Brooklyn Grange rooftop farm recently, and it’s a beautiful example of how they can create green spaces in urban areas. Have you seen any local projects that inspire you? .
