A1. DESIGN FUTURE
ZJA Architects - Ecoduct, The Borkeld
FIG.1:THE BORKELD ECUDUCT RETAINING WALL SYSTEM - HTTP://WWW.ZJA.NL
FIG.2: ROAD SYSTEM MINUS CENTRAL COLUMN - HTTP://WWW.ZJA.NL
In the Netherlands, green bridges are commonly referred to as ‘ecoducts’. The Netherlands created and leads the way in terms of the number of ecoducts constructed, since the first one constructed in 1988 there are now at least 47 ecoducts present which appear to have been built for biodiversity purposes. The idea of the construction of these crossings are for fauna to continue to interact with their natural bio diversity of the area, when new road and railway infrastructure is built.
The A1 Borkeld Ecoduct spans a lengh of 17m with a relatively narrow width. The design commitioned intervention was intended to be as discreet as possible. Therefore a narrow span was chosen so it could be constructed without a central pillar, which creates a calm image for drivers on the highway.

The ecoduct connects the nature reserve De Borkeld allowing animals to move freely across the Veluwe National Park.

FIG.1: THE ROOF HAS BECOME AN ELEVATED NATURAL LANDSCAPE - FLICKER.COM
The facility earned the U.S. Green Building Council’s highest ratings for its eco-friendly design and operations, making it the world’s first Double Platinum museum— and the largest Double Platinum building in the world. It has also recieved LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) Platinum rating covering the design and construction process and its second in the “Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance” category, certifying a continued effort for day-to-day operations and practices to meet the highest standards of sustainability. Architect Renzo Piano’s idea to “lift up a piece of the park and put a building underneath,” and create a 2.5acre Living Roof has been desicribed as one of the most remarkable places to experience and visit.

CONCEPTUALISATION
The living roof is the heart of the Academy. Edged by solar panels, the roof’s seven hills are lined with 50,000 porous, biodegradable vegetation trays made from tree sap and coconut husks. An estimated 1.7 million plants fill the trays, their roots interlocking to create an extraordinary oasis for birds, insects, people. provides excellent insulation (reducing energy needs for heating and cooling), captures 100% of excess storm water (preventing runoff from carrying pollutants into the ecosystem), and transforms carbon dioxide into oxygen. Native plants such provide much-needed habitat and food for birds, bees, butterflies, and other beneficial animals and add up to the densest concentration of native wildflowers in San Franisco.
