Are living roofs like landscapes on the ground but on top of buildings?
The vegetation of a living roof creates a false appearance of a ground-based landscape. However, living roofs are primarily a building system and secondarily a landscape feature. Living roof components and their assembly need to be viewed as any other construction system composing the building. Think in terms of a living roof as a ‘Vegetative Building System.’ This will help set the proper perspective for manifesting any green roof project.
