Summary:

"So far the exploitation of rooftop space has been incidental. This book analyses and describes the opportunities for realising projects of this kind, as well as the potential difficulties, on the basis of interesting examples of construction on top of existing buildings in the Netherlands and abroad. It will be influential in establishing a benchmark for architecture and urban planning that is a necessity if rooftop architecture is to be given a serious hearing in the future."--BOOK JACKET.
