Roof greening is a form in which people choose plant materials that are suitable for their growth habit according to the structural characteristics of the building roof, the load and the ecological environmental conditions on the roof, and use certain skills to build a green landscape on the top of the building.
In “Garden City” Singapore, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, as a pioneer in the implementation of roof energy-saving green technology in the education system, has a special green roof building-the School of Art, Design and Media Building.
Its green roof consists of a series of certified energy-saving equipment and emerald green lawn, like a green ribbon, laid on this five-story building, magnificent.
The curved green roof distinguishes the building from other buildings on the campus, but the line between the landscape and the building is blurred. The teaching building hidden under the green roof is called the “garden”, which is perfectly integrated with the surrounding natural scenery and is completely integrated into the green.
The green roof looks like a green eye from the satellite image.
The overall whirlpool design of the building leaves a “valley” in the middle as a space for temporary rest. Professors and students who love adventurous activities can also climb the sloping green roof through the stairs on the first floor to see the entire campus.
This green roof is not only beautiful, but also the ideal state of planting vegetables, flowers and grass on the roof. With the cover of green plants, it is equivalent to adding a natural insulation layer to this building.
The roof greening of Nanyang Technological University combines ecological and environmental protection concepts with modern architecture, and combines architectural art with garden art, so that the green roof of the building can be integrated with nature.
