The House on the Roof

The first episode is all about vertical densification: from small roof extensions to large-scale additions, from additional floors to houses.
The Village on the Roof
Nov 3, 2021
The second episode introduces villages on roofs and a floating garden. Entire landscapes are being created on roofs. Sustainable construction in existing buildings, more greenery – creates space with quality of life.

Nov 3, 2021
Sustainable architecture brings nature into the city: former urban highways are being transformed into parks, and new oases are being created. In addition, cities are growing downwards – and even diagonally.
Building Landscapes
Nov 3, 2021
In the fourth episode, things are finally going upside down: complex and multi-layered building landscapes are emerging. Nature and the city are merging on different levels, and new space is also being created underground.
