04 herb+shrub intensive green roof
In nature Herb+Shrub communities serve as ecotones between the exposed rock bluffs and typical piedmont forest. As a result these areas tend to accommodate more animal life than other outcrop communities, thus the program for these designs focuses on the training and habitation of small mammals. Infrastructure would also be implemented to research the behavior and success of animal species on green roofs, a topic with limited literature and study thus far.
