Heden: Building in Sweden with the Green Roof System
January 21st, 2009 | by admin |
We all know the benefits gained by creating a garden on the roof of the house (Green Roofs) and has become one of the trends for the building / architecture of the present.
A place in Sweden with the name Heden that was just a garden that will be built a large complex, complete with apartments, shops, offices and parking lot.
To keep the keasrian area, Swedish architects Kjellgren Kaminsky called the concept of Green Roof.
The form of the building itself is made of several valleys such as the roof and planted grass can be passed by the pedestrian.
Like most modern architecture that is at this time, this complex has also been equipped with systems “rain harvest” in which rain water will ditampung and can be used again to start some kind of purpose meyirami for plants and washing cars.
Back to the “Green Roof”, of course, the use of electricity for air conditioner (AC) can be minimized because the grass planted on the building can reduce the temperature of heat into the room.
Housing complex, “New Heden” This plan can accommodate about 10,000 people.
One thing we are worried that the roof could be passed by pedestrian, if the later is not too dangerous because they may just drop?
