Abstract |
Shortage of green space areas in urban cities has bad influences on urban environment and eco-system without a doubt and it is almost impossible to secure or expand green space areas due to the population concentration in urban communities accompanied by shortage of residential space. One of the most feasible solution to this matter without having to secure extensive site is called 'Three-Dimensional Planting' where the roofs, rooftops and walls of a structure is utilized to create environmentally friendly atmosphere. It is very obvious that afforestation activities does not provide the same effects of nature or parks. However, if the site is used vertically and the total number of plantation increases in the limited plantation space, it may create a similar environment as having a large green space area. The horizontal and vertical surfaces of a building is a visually predominant factor which space is slowly increasing due to the trend of high-rise buildings. Utilizing these spaces are not only an alternative plan from having to secure urban green space but also improves the structural appearance of a building. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to analyze the site plan, form, spatial structure, natural energy, and vegetation conditions of a structure in order to propose appropriate design techniques for 'Three-Dimensional Planting' in accordance with the area where the building is located. |
