Roof Garden for a Residential Tower In Kaohsiung, Taiwan


Roof Garden for a Residential Tower nearby Kaohsiung Arena MRT Station in Taiwan:

A quite number of modern highrise buildings in Taiwan are integrating roof gardens. Providing well-designed private roof gardens for highrise buildings is not only reducing impervious surface areas in the city, but is also creating many other positive urban environment impacts such as reduction of urban heat island and opportunity for urban agriculture. As an architect, we should start looking at this feature as one of prime components or programs of building.
