‘Green Architecture’, to some extension, is
becoming a new design style. Just like put some birds to make something look
trendier, you plant numbers of verdant trees on your building, especially in
your student age. Even for formal architecture competition or proposals, you
would find dozens of trees. Yep, put a tree on it, looks better and
sustainable. Combining landscape with architecture would be a good idea.
However, does it really work for all building?
You would rarely find trees planted on skyscrapers,
and even on some certain built projects, vegetation is not as tall as on the
ground. It seems very hard to be flourishing.
Trees need well and intensive care indeed, which would cost plenty of
time and money to maintain. Besides you should also provide irrigation system
for the water supply. Covering with green may not mean green on economic
somehow. And think about accommodation about those plants, their roots are the
same sizes as they look on top, so how many spaces you leave for they to grow
decide how luxuriant they could be. So if you want a green roof or a green
terrace, except the thickness of the roof, you should add the thermal
insulation, the support panel, water proof, filter membrane and growing soil,
then your building is not a slim beauty, but a very fat and overstaffed one.
Your clients may tell you don’t care about
money, just put the trees onto the surface of the building because they like
it, and they also don’t want to be delicate. In this situation can we have a
green sustainable TREE building?
