Descrição

Mestrado em Arquitectura Paisagista - Instituto Superior de Agronomia The purpose of this work is the study of roof gardens and its application in landscape architecture project, some bases are made to differentiate the various types of gardens highlighting its history, as long as it has popped up today, the technical as well as specific benefits. Many types of roof gardens are approached as cases of studies, as the extensive roof garden in a dwelling in Vila Nova de Gaia, designed by Neoturf in January 2011 and the roof garden of the building of Portugal Telecom, in Picoas, project by the landscape architect Manuel Sousa da Câmara done sometime between 1980 and 1982. The latter will also be analyzed in terms of design. The connection between two very distinct works and a lot of stress will be made show the 30 year old gap. The roof gardens of both houses and commercial buildings, or even small support structures are increasingly used. In addition to all the benefits that are described throughout this dissertation, the parcels of land are turning more scarce and expensive, what makes it more difficult for a landscape architect to create gardens, and gardens are really important in an urban center.
