Rooftop Architecture
Designing for urban wasted space
Jonathon Noble
2008 | Master of Architecture
Designing for our urban roofscapes demands a shift in current patterns of development in order to redefine the physical and social structure of our built environments. Cities continue to sprawl out onto undeveloped land, wasting valuable resources on infrastructure necessary to support an automobile-centric lifestyle dependant on cheap oil and plentiful greenfields. Rooftop architecture creates a new system of design and way of fabricating unique buildings that sustain and enhance the social and physical elements of a complex urban fabric.
