I was looking up information on green roofs and debating on weather or not it made sense to use in our project. Initially, I felt like green roofs were intended for urban areas which lack vegetation or if used in a natural environment that it should be used in a way which the roof actually connects to the landscape. My project does neither, but it is supposed to be an educational and research facility in sustainability, and so for that reason it would be relevant. After researching it a little more I'm definitely more open to the idea of a green roof, after seeing the variety of situations they've been used in. I was curious about what other people's opinions on this subject was.
