• GREEN BUILDING Green spaces in buildings can provide numerous benefits, including improving air quality, reducing energy costs, enhancing occupant health and well-being, and reducing the urban heat island effect. Here are some concepts for incorporating green spaces into buildings:

• Rooftop Gardens: A rooftop garden can provide a green oasis in the midst of a concrete jungle. A rooftop garden can also help to reduce the heat island effect, improve air quality, and reduce energy consumption. Atriums: An atrium is an open space that extends from the ground floor to the roof of a building. An atrium can be filled with vegetation and natu-

• Green Walls: A green wall is a wall covered with vegetation that can help to purify the air, improve acoustics, and provide a calming and relaxing atmosphere. Green walls can be installed both indoors and outdoors.

• Indoor Gardens: An indoor garden can be incorporated into the design of a building, providing a natural and peaceful environment for occupants. This can be especially useful in buildings with limited outdoor space or in colder climates where outdoor gardens are not feasible.

• Vertical Gardens: A vertical garden is a garden that is grown vertically, usually on a wall or fence. This can be a great option for buildings with limited outdoor space, as a vertical garden can provide a large amount of greenery in a small footprint.

The premises of this area are provided with many things like work spaces, charging points, play house for children, play area for adults, library.
