Earth-Covered Roof: Continuous Grass, Not Laid On

A roof continuous with the ground. The roof is an undulating curved surface, covered with at least thirty centimeters of soil, growing the exact same wild grasses and groundcover plants as the surroundings; the grass grows from the hillside directly onto the roof without any boundary, no parapet, no drain covers. The height of the roof follows the terrain, and people can walk directly onto it from the slope. Plants have different colors in different seasons. Avoid: making the green roof into neat turf blocks, adding parapet walls and metal trim strips at the roof edge, using different plants than the surroundings, or making the soil layer so thin that it looks like a paving.

一片與地面連續的屋頂。屋頂是起伏的曲面,上面覆著三十公分以上的土層,長著與周圍完全相同的野草與地被植物;草從山坡一路長上屋頂,中間沒有任何界線、沒有女兒牆、沒有排水溝蓋。屋頂的高低順著地形,人可以直接從坡地走上去。植物在不同季節有不同顏色。避免:把綠屋頂做成整齊的草皮塊、在屋頂邊緣加女兒牆與金屬壓條、使用與周圍不同的植物、讓土層薄到看得出是鋪面。
