A swirling green rooftop: "the architect carved a habitat from the constraints of the valley and allowed the landscape to play an important role in moulding the building." - Entrepreneur Generations

Architecture can be both inspiring as art and respectful of the natural environment: 

Amazing Green Roof-scape

This swirling green rooftop was designed by CPG for Nanyang Technological University.

The school sits in a wooded valley in Singapore. To minimize disturbance to the surrounding environment, the architect carved a habitat from the constraints of the valley and allowed the landscape to play an important role in moulding the building.

Aside from its visual impact, the turfed roof-scape helps to lower the temperature of the roof and surrounding areas. It works as both a functional space and a scenic outdoor community space. The roof top is easily accessible by steps along its edge.
