Top 10 Hot List, 10 Categories, 10 Week Countdown
Take a look at installation number four in my 10-part series counting down our yearly “Greenroofs.com Top 10 List of Hot Trends in Greenroof & Greenwall Design” by category.
We inaugurated the “Top 10 Hot List” in 2007, and 2018 is packed with some very cool, awesome, and stunning projects located across six continents.
I presented my fast-paced and always fun whirlwind tour across the world of living architecture in New York in September at 2018 CitiesAlive. In order to try and keep to my 30-minute maximum presentation time, I removed several projects and slides, but I’m going to show them all here in this series.
Are you ready to be dazzled and inspired by some of the latest and greatest living architecture projects from across the global greenroof and greenwall industry?
I’ve already shown #10, 9, and 8 – here’s the next one:
2018 Top 10 Hot List Category #7: Overstructure Greenroof Plazas:
Green spaces as social catalysts
These highly intensive community space greenroofs are hiding in plain sight!
Pennsylvania State Capitol East Wing Plaza
The state of Pennsylvania brought life back to its classical governmental plaza, cooled down the paved areas, and created colorful vegetated spaces for all to enjoy with its new East Wing Plaza renovation! See the Pennsylvania State Capitol East Wing Plaza Project Profile in the Greenroofs.com Projects Database.
Al-Shaeed Park
What a great example of honoring heroes, implementing green infrastructure on a massive scale, and being able to accommodate thousands of visitors and citizens to a very green oasis in the desert city! See the Al Shaheed Project Profile in the Greenroofs.com Projects Database
Dorrian Green Park & Garage
Named after a beloved public servant dedicated to the residents of Columbus for 52 years, Hugh J. Dorrian, this cultural institution has created public greenspace with its at-grade greenroof which benefits the community and brings a bit of nature back to the city!
