Content

This course is part of the
GBE Module Building greening (compulsory)

The students know the evolutions of the concepts and theories of (Urban) Green Infrastructure and Nature-based solutions and the corresponding disci-plines and instruments for implementation. They have knowledge of the basic technologies for roof and facade greening and have the according plant and material knowledge. They understand the theories of microclimate regulation, the regulation of water and energy balance and the contribution to urban water management. They comprehend impacts and benefits and according facts.
Students understand the design concept of the outdoor space with regard to the technical, constructive, functional, site related-topographic and climate-relevant interactions between the building and the open space. Specific inter-actions relate to rainwater management, planting design, light and shade, spatial design and access.
Previous knowledge expected

knowledge in plan drawing
Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)

The students can draft concepts for roof and facade greening. They can design building greenary and analyse and calculate the material needed (plants, sub-strates, multi-layered systems, pots, climbing aids and the necessary technical equipment for maintenance and servicing and according plant care).
Students can solve basic design questions on their own and in teams and can apply creative solutions. The students have the competences for adequately communicating, design questions and planning details and pros and cons of building greenary to both experts and laymen.
Students have competences to collect relevant data and state-of-the art knowledge for building greenary design and implementation. They integrate approved design with up-to-date scientific knowledge to create new solutions for complex building and design questions. They can evaluate impacts on technical structures and social benefits.
