    While I'm all for adding greenery to buildings, I really dont think trees are the best way to go, both in terms of maintenance and environmental impact. Bushes/shrubs, grasses, and wildflowers would imo be a far better choice. They dont usually require deep root systems and correspondingly deep/heavy soil, and they capture about the same amount of carbon as trees while offering a much easier way to harvest and sequester that carbon. Wildflowers can also help maintain and revitalize critically important bee populations. If you want to have some trees on the roof to make a rooftop park? Sure, why not. But for terraces and balconies? Stick to the shrubbery.

    • @alexverdigris9939
      @alexverdigris9939 5 лет назад +144

      There's no much difference (in terms of your stated criteria) between a bush/shrub and a dwarf tree. For example, a Japanese maple (technically a tree) can be more compact than an upright Rosemarinus officinalis (a shrub that many grow on window sills as a herb). I suspect that the botanist has increasingly a job next to the architect, in advising the best specimens for the given conditions. I know for a fact they did take some expert arboriculture advise at Bosco Verticale, Milan, particularly with regard to soil composition as well as trees / shrubs specimens.
      I see a new emerging profession, the archi-botanist, who knows what to plant where in what soils on what buildings.

      Sustainability refers to line graphs. For example, if fishing activity will eventually drop their population to 0 over time, then those fishing practices are unsustainable.
      Our population growth rate is also unsustainable, because it will have to plataeu. It's impossible to keep it growing, ad infinitum.
      So, if a logging company has a system that plants, grows and cuts trees in a cycle, and replenishes the soil, it's sustainable. The supply doesn't go down or up. It remains constant.

      Yes! Two times so far! I go to Singapore about once a year in January or February, I'm head of operations of Singapore based company in Croatia. I used to stay at Amara Hotel, literally across the street and watched it being built. I think it was opened in spring of 2016, so in January 2016 was done but without greenery. 2017 was first time I stayed there because I loved how it looked. And it's a 4 star hotel, so prices are reasonable for Singapore. And it's in a great part of town. There are two malls within 200 m of a hotel, famous Marina Bay Sands Hotel and Gardens by the Bay are less 5 km away and countless malls, shops and restaurants in between.

    I love this idea but what happens when the roots inevitably reach the edges of the planters? We can already see the effects of long term tree growth on sidewalks and the edges of roads. I wonder how much additional maintenance is needed to address those issues. Plus regular maintenance... How is all of that managed? What's the cost of the employees and specialty management necessary to maintain the look(trimming, watering, removing dead plants, etc)?. Certainly an expense for the building owner but great source of new specialty jobs that are probably better economically than the usual window washers. Could be a great new job source and paid for partially by the greater efficiencies in temperature management inside the structures.

    Incorporating greenery in architecture is so beautiful and desirable but it is also a huge problem long term because of the continual moisture damage. Cracks, erosion and leaks, rotting etc. There has to be a way to overcome it but it will not be cheap or easy. Imagine if each of these green spaces were instead swimming pools and the problem will be more apparent as water always seeks the lowest point. These large spaces need to be sealed and they will not be sealed as one piece. And over time materials erode and compress etc. On a skyscraper with massive amounts of greenery included you might need to worry about structural damage similar to what caused that condo collapse in Florida. I would like to see a video of how they would make these buildings truly water tight and safe long term.

It's stuff like this that makes me happy and hopeful for the future. I want to see our homes and cities quite literally become more green. I live in a community in northern Canada where we get a lot of snow for most of the year. It's easy to get depressed during the winter. If our homes and buildings had more greenery built within them it would help offset this winter depression people get here.

      m8 they aint "little art cute projects" at all by your friendly neighbourhood artists, these are projects with massive budgets by teams of people with huge developers who can afford. Designing these "green" buildings require a lot of planning and financing in order for these designs to be built. IT IS popular especially in the architecture industry but these designs are naturally expensive to build due to the nature of using plants, which is why many developers in the world do not adopt such designs for their buildings unless the country that the building is in incentivizes low environmental impact for its buildings then developers would be more willing to allow architects to use these designs. Building trends don't work the same as fashion trends!

      I'd say it isn't the wind, it is the climate (primarily, the cold, and moisture) that defines how high (elevation) the trees can grow and which tree species. Regarding the individual climate conditions, there are so many variables there, that I'll have to generalize heavily.
      • Good roots usually can enable the tree to withstand most winds, even ones that are "extreme" in human terms.
      • The maximum elevation at which the trees (conifers - pine trees) can comfortably grow in European climates are (approximately): 1000-2500 meters (3300-8200 ft), which is way above modern super-construction achievements. Leafy trees usually are at, (very) roughly, half that elevation.
      • Certain shrubs can grow even higher, and under city conditions can grow fairly large, but, in general, they lack the aesthetic beauty of trees.
      If my explanation is a bit hard to follow try looking up _tree line_ (timber line) for specific regions.
