Green Turf Rooftop


I have dreamed of such rooftops since I was a kid. I’ve always fantasized about being able to ride my bike from the street onto the roof and back down. This is the School of Art building of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. It’s grassy roof isn’t just a design element, it provides the many benefits of earth as an insulating material, helping to lower the roof temperature. This is one of the best incorporations of green roofing in a building I’ve seen.
