Only a matter of time before green roofs became mobile! Bus Roots is the thesis project of an NYU graduate student. If every bus in NYC became a mobile roof garden, it would create 35 acres of new green space, more photos and project details can be found here.

urban design city

Do you live your city? I mean, do you feel that people and city really connect as a whole? 

I’ve been always fascinated by cities, their developing, their history, and now I spend plenty of time considering about their future. As a urban designer guess that’s what I’m supposed to do, but I tend to say that I’m really passioned about it!

If you are an urban designer or just someone passioned about cities, just check out this blog from Gehl Architects - making cities for the people, where they promote great ideas for the future os our cities.

the collaborative design for the ‘2012 serpentine gallery pavilion’ by basel-based architects herzog & de meuron and chinese architect ai weiwei has been unveiled and will soon be constructed on the grounds of the serpentine gallery in london, england.
officially opening on june 1 and remaining open to the public through october 14, the structure will be the first by the team to be constructed in the UK, following their previous joint venture for the national stadium in beijing, china.

visitors will submerge five feet beneath the kensington gardens to experience the hidden history of the preceding pavilions of the annual series, represented by eleven columns. a twelfth symbolizing the current pavilion will support a platform roof with a reflective surface of water which floats 1.4 meters above the recessed floor plane, visible to people on the lawn of the park above. the water may be drained as needed transforming the roof into an impromptu dance floor or event space.
