Summary:

"Dense + Green explores innovations in architectural typologies that emerge from the integration of green components, such as sky terraces, green facades, and vertical parks, in high-density buildings. In-depth case studies of various building types are presented with analytical drawings prepared exclusively for this book. International experts provide information on the technical and ecological aspects as well as the landscape and urban design implications of the dense and green paradigm"--Back cover.
