Architecture: Green roofs

There is a such a foreign elegance to green roofs. Obviously there is nothing more natural than plants and grass, but put it on top of a concrete jungle and there is a head-turning strangeness about it that is so beautiful. Perhaps in the near future it will be the norm, but for now check out these beautiful urban/pastoral hybrids from around the world.

  • That image from New York looks very unique. I’m not sure if it was intentionally designed to be like that or it just went on as time passed. Thanks for sharing this collection! Looking forward to more.
