Digging into the Landscape : preserving Stockholm Urban Green Roof

Abstract: Global warming, heat island, air and water pollution, storm water, greening the environment, social sustainability are issues that green roof is one of best solution to deal with them and that is the reason why green roof strategies are promoting all over the world. Every organization is trying to adopt green roof to its own need and localized it according to its demands and hopefully green roof is the right answer to them. "Digging into the landscape" is a conceptual design approach for a specific site in Stockholm, Sweden not to build another new high technology artificial green roof but to preserve, reengineer and redefine the concept of green roof in urban fabric. This project is an approach to discover many opportunities that lie in the unknown that dramatically ignored by people and it tries to dress Stockholm in the light and green hues.
