Developments
• Sustainable development BCC
• Sustainable development is about meeting the needs

have a global responsibility in dealing with greenhouse
gas emissions, use of fossil fuels and climate change.
• Council’s Sustainable Built Environment Policy

18. OUTrial House
www.p lant u p .n et .au
The building is actually carved out of a hill and uses the displaced grass for the
roof. Simple in design, the square OUTrial House has concrete walls and its
usable green roof is accessible from within the house.

Located in Golden Gate Park, the 2.5 acre green roof is rectangular when observed from above.
From the ground, however, several large spherical elements are visible. Located within these
elements are a planetarium and rainforest. Also, circular skylights are distributed over the
surface of the roof, allowing natural light and ventilation into the spaces below. California
native greenery is used to keep maintenance low.

Gardens by the Bay Singapore
Singapore is becoming a world leader in Greenroof & Greenwall technology and
this project will showcase plants intergraded into the architecture.
26. Zaha Hadid’s Dongdaemun Design Park and Plaza
Design Park and Plaza will contain a design museum, library, and educational
facilities. Influenced by Korean paintings, the garden will contain reflecting pools,
lotus ponds, pebble beds, and bamboo groves. The fluid shapes of the building,
lacking sharp angles and fuse with the garden to create an organic feel.

Aptly named, this BIG creation in Taiwan looks like a cube-shaped black hole out of
a sci-fi movie. Recessions throughout the building might give the impression of a
portal to another world but in actuality lead to open areas that allowing people to
walk through. BIG's futuristic creation will not be barren: on top of the 57-m-high
building will be a grove of trees encircling a rooftop performance area, which will
provide a naturally cooled public park.
