The project ‘Rooftop Biosphere’ explores possibilities of using rooftops as part of an urban farming system in a dense city context. By introducing green zones to rooftop plateaus, a landscape-like environment is created and elevated pedestrian pathways make it accessible for the public. An outdoor sprawling green area functions as a buffert for the closely situated highway E45 whereas a large-scale greenhouse environment is used for productive landscaping. This so-called biosphere enables a weather protected indoor zone along the elevated paths and it is framed by buildings containing workplaces and residences – creating a vivid environment.
