Mark and Anne made a presentation for GRHC’s NYC Virtual Symposium. Topic of the presentation is The Challenges of Replacing Green.
Green roofs have many documented benefits for cities, including energy savings, storm water retention, wildlife habitat and biodiversity, and the reduction of ambient temperatures, thus reducing the urban heat island effect. In this presentation, Mark Morrison will go over challenges that his firm MKM has encountered and solved, on a project by project basis. Morrison will highlight major structural and material topics that landscape architects must understand and employ for creating successful projects.
