    Roofscape Design: Regenerating the City upon the City

    Description

    As focus shifts to "no net land take" city regeneration
    approaches one of the main traditional elements of architecture-
    the roof-is gaining renewed prominence. This book
    provides a survey of worldwide experiences of city rooftop
    re-use strategies such as building-on and integrating new
    volumes within the existing buildings. Twenty-five case studies
    illustrate a multiplicity of projects that innovate on traditional
    typologies by offering multiple ways of living, working
    and using public services in the city. They all share a symbiotic
    method that exploits the extraordinariness of the "top
    condition" offered by the roof to foster a subtle change in the
    whole building's urban identity. They test new technologies
    for light and quick construction methods in order to deal with
    structural constraints and the needs of inhabitants.
    City roofscape redesign belongs to an adaptive attitude based
    on knowledge of the dynamic process of transformation of
    the physical realm, far removed from regressive preservationonly
    behavior. It represents a remarkable way of coping with
    urban regeneration issues.
