Green Roofs in Dry Climates
The new website of IGRA′s 5th International Green Roof Congress has just been launched (www.greenroofworld.com). Scheduled for the 17th and 18th of February 2018 in Kuwait City, the congress will focus on Nature Based Solutions for Green Buildings in dry climates. Speakers will include for example Kai Uwe Bergmann from BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group (Copenhagen, New York, London), Kyo Suk Lee from MVRDV (Rotterdam, Shanghai), Deborah Nevins from Deborah Nevins & Associates (New York), Jamil Corbani from Green Studios (Beirut, Cairo, Dubai, Los Angeles) and Green Roof pioneer Roland Appl, president of the International Green Roof Association IGRA. Upon this foundation, a series of groundbreaking and inspiring projects for the sustainable development of future-oriented cities will be presented. A highlight of the congress programme is of course the Al Shaheed Park in Kuwait City – a new icon of Green Infrastructure with almost 80,000 m2 of landscaped roofs. We look forward to seeing you at the 5th International Green Roof Congress in the Al Shaheed Park, Kuwait′s new urban oasis! Please don’t hesitate to share this information with your network.

7 年Very interested in green roofs for dry climates - particularly dry tropical conditions such as those here in townsville. Any case studies or exemplars (food centric human health highly sought after) are greatly appreciated and wish I could make the trek. Thanks for sharing
