About the project

Challenge, approach and results.

Due to urbanisation, people have destroyed green areas not only in city centres, but this has also begun to spread to their outskirts. One of the better solutions to 'give back to nature what was taken from it' is the construction of green roofs. With green roofs, we aim to demonstrate that, in addition to all their positive properties, they contribute to better climatic conditions in cities and thus to better living conditions for people, which is most important today.

Problem

Due to urbanisation, people have destroyed green areas not only in city centres, but this has also begun to spread to their outskirts.

Solution and Method

One of the better solutions to 'give back to nature what was taken from it' is the construction of green roofs. The roof could be said to have been, both historically and today, the most important structural element or the most important part of a house. The diploma thesis describes the historical development of roofs and their significance for people and the environment.

The topic of flat green roofs will be addressed in more detail, describing their positive properties, individual parts or layers, etc. A practical example also describes the construction of a flat green roof above a garage building and calculates all the costs of its implementation.

Results

With green roofs, we aim to demonstrate that, in addition to all their positive properties, they contribute to better climatic conditions in cities and thus to better living conditions for people, which is most important today.
