Green roofs and living facades represent a convergence of architecture, landscape design, and environmental strategy. These projects explore how vegetation can be layered into building systems to address ecological concerns, improve thermal performance, and reshape the relationship between structures and their surroundings.

The community examines diverse applications: working agricultural spaces integrated into institutional buildings, living shells that replace conventional facades, transformed landscapes that remediate degraded sites, and passive design strategies that embed nature into residential architecture. Projects range from small interventions like pocket forests to large-scale systems that fundamentally alter how buildings interact with their environment.

Farmscape

The design is inspired from the traditional geographic farm land pattern of London so it is reflected in design. The iconic form covers majority of the land creating symbiosis between nature and architecture. The necessary functions and programs, zoning and infrastructures are submerged in the design as they will not hamper the natural essence.

The Future

Seed refers to regeneration as the metaphor and the beginning of a cycle. It was aimed to take the seed out of the area where it was stored and protected and to meet with the citizen and to become a part of the city as a continuation of the cycle as an image. Collision points were considered for urban and seed interaction.

Fore^t De Poche

Creating an oxygen chamber using elements from nature, and creating a micro-climate within, along with raising awareness regarding pollution are the main objectives of this natural walkway. The installation is a self-sufficient module, that produces its own electricity, and focuses on highlighting sensory experience within the design.

The Vertical Park

The idea was to redefine the city life by taking advantage of the function, number and location of VERTICAL PARKINGS and turn them into VERTICAL PARKS . Redefine people's life from being imprisoned by crowded and bulky towers that affect their mental health daily to a more comfortable and environmentally friendly life by light weight VERTICAL PARKS .
