What I love about this design is that it reads life and breath and looks like it was brought directly from nature. The expansive green roof is designed to mimic the function of low-lying ground cover vegetation. What particularly attracted me to this design is the way it takes on complete life, in it’s movement of form and the way it sort of looks like it could inhale and exhale, as if the structure as a whole was a living organism, not only the green roof. The idea of living, breathing structures is an element that I am considering with my final studio project. Creating an installation that incorporates movement of life into a space with its actual built form. Architecture does not have to be static, nor a place that solely houses life, it can become a part of the living realm as well.
