About this ebook
Skyscraper Rooftops unveils the untapped potential of urban rooftops as crucial spaces for urban sustainability and architectural innovation. Moving beyond mere functional areas, these elevated spaces are transforming into observatories, gardens, and hubs for sustainability projects. The book highlights how adapting rooftops contributes to urban agriculture, biodiversity, and the reduction of the urban heat island effect, while also exploring how these spaces can foster community engagement and enhance quality of life.
The book progresses from introducing the ""adaptive rooftop"" concept and its design considerations to examining rooftop gardens and sustainability projects. Through case studies and data, it demonstrates the effectiveness of rooftop technologies in energy savings and carbon emission reduction.
By presenting a solution-oriented approach, the book emphasizes the technical, economic, and social factors influencing successful rooftop transformations, offering urban planners and architects a roadmap for integrating these spaces into comprehensive urban planning strategies.
