CAN GREEN ROOFS BLOOM IN THE DESERT?

AIA/LA C.O.T.E. presents... CAN GREEN ROOFS BLOOM IN THE DESERT? Green roofs promise multiple benefits for greening our cities: sustainable management of stormwater runoff and heat gain, aesthetic value, even biodiversity and habitat. But in semi arid areas like Los Angeles questions remain about the effectiveness and suitability of green roofs. Join us for provocative panel discussion about the realities, opportunities and challenges facing green roof projects in Los Angeles. Moderated by: Katherine Spitz, AIA, ASLA & Freya Bardell Speakers include: Brent Bucknum founder of Hyphae Design Lab. He also ran the Living Architecture department at Rana Creek.
