Index

  • In today's urban environment high rise buildings, parking areas, network of roads have acquired major urban land.
  • In such congested environment rooftop and terrace of buildings provide a valuable potential source of outdoor space accessible to users of building.
  • Need of terrace gardens has increased with increasing number of high rise buildings which deprive their occupants of any visual contact with nature.
  • Terrace gardens bring back the missing link between man and nature though on a moderate scale.

: INTRODUCTION :

THE SECTION OF THE HANGING GARDENS OF BABYLON 500 BC

  • The next known successor to the roof gardens are the Hanging Gardens of Babylon built by the Persians around the 500 B.C .
  • The roof gardens along with being a visual delight cooled the hot landscapes and provided greenery.
  • The trend of terrace garden is not new, for centuries it has been common to use rooftops as a living space/Recreational space.
  • The first known historical reference to a roof garden is the stone temples in the region of Mesopotamia.

SCOPE:

  • This includes study of design of terrace garden, basic study of plant materials, structural implication and Construction techniques.

OBJECTIVE: • To study and understand what is terrace garden and its need and utilization. • To study its construction ,Impact on building Elements involved in terrace garden and architectural aspects of terrace gardens.

: OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE :

  • A terrace garden is a garden which is established on a terrace, roof, or patio, usually in a house where there is limited gardening space. These types of terrace gardens are especially popular in urban areas.
  • Terrace gardens are commonly created at three different levels, which are:
  • On rooftop of a building.
  • Porches, window boxes, portico , balconies and such projected levels out of tower block, above the ground level
  • At the podium level, around the base or on roof of large basements.

What Is Terrace Garden?

- There are two types of green roof systems, namely: 1.INTENSIVE (DEEP) 2.EXTENSIVE (SHALLOW)1. EXTENSIVE ROOF: • Thin growing medium; little or no irrigation; stressful conditions for plants; low plant diversity. Overall depth:70-120mm Weight max:80-125kg/sq.m

: CONSTRUCTION :

2. INTENSIVE GREEN ROOF :• Deep soil; irrigation system; more favourable conditions for plants; high plant diversity; often accessible.

  • Overall depth:150-1500mm
  • Weight max:200kg/sq.m

• Green roofs consist of both horticultural elements and traditional roofing components. There are three distinct layers in a green roof from the bottom, namely: 1.Structural layer 2.Growing media 3.Vegitative layer.

GREEN ROOF SYSTEM COMPONENTS

-The urban heat island is the overheating of urban and suburban areas, relative to the surrounding countryside, due to Increased paved, built-over, and hard surface areas.

What is Heat Island Effect?

• As rooftops make up a significant percentage of the reflective non vegetated surfaces in the city. • Introduction of greenery through green roofs in the urban areas can reduce impervious surfaces. • Plants use heat energy to achieve a cooling effect. By reducing the heat gain through the roof ambient temperature is lowered leading to less energy consumption • Internal building temperature will be reduced by 0.5˚C • Reduces electricity consumption for air conditioning

How does terrace garden help in reducing HEAT ISLAND EFFECT in URBAN area?

  • As the world is heading towards the depletion of natural resources and the loss of forest/garden area due to urbanization, there is a need of terrace gardens.
  • Due to the population explosion with a house for every citizen in the country, all the open areas are eaten away by concrete buildings.
  • This has created the ecological imbalance, which can cause tremendous harm to our future generations.
  • When we cannot avoid utilizing open spaces on the ground for the construction of buildings and other utilities, then at least the open spaces available above these buildings can be utilized for plantations and gardens to minimize the ecological imbalance.
