Urban village gets living sponge space

Kategorie: Sonstiges
Thema: Water Solutions
Autor: Jonas Völker

The project utilizes three-dimensional light steel structures that are simple to construct and have the capacity to hold over 420 plant containers filled with plants mostly native to Southern China. The original concrete rooftop is transformed by vegetation, which is capable of absorbing and preserving rainwater, creating a nature-based stormwater management system for the residential building, achieving a 65% of run-off control rate. As a result, a living "green cloud" is formed on a rooftop of Gangxia village.
Read all about the project in this article from the nature of cities.
