Abstract:

The article is a review of the emerg-ing trend of integrating buildings with vegeta-tion. The overview of contemporary practice and conceptual design shows an evolution from iconic manifestos, to mainstream ele-ments of present-day architectural design, reasoned by climatic changes. The examina-tion of representative cases show a growing interest in several forms of integrating build-ings with vegetation, incorporated into build-ings roofs, terraces, balconies and facades. The conclusions highlight prospective oppor-tunities in form, function, construction and sustainability of contemporary architecture; but also notice some threads of prioritizing green image over ecological aspects.
