Green Roofs and Living Walls

Green Roofs and Living Walls offers a comprehensive exploration of sustainable architectural practices that integrate nature into urban environments. Participants will engage with advanced concepts in green infrastructure, focusing on design, implementation, and maintenance of living systems that enhance biodiversity, improve air quality, and contribute to energy efficiency. The course emphasizes hands-on project work, enabling learners to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios, fostering a deep understanding of how these systems can transform urban landscapes.
The curriculum is structured to facilitate active learning and collaboration among peers, with an emphasis on publishing findings in Cademix Magazine. Participants will work on a final project that involves designing a green roof or living wall tailored to a specific site, considering factors such as climate, plant selection, and structural integration. This practical approach ensures that graduates are equipped with the skills necessary to meet the growing demand for sustainable building solutions in the architecture and interior design sectors.
