Inhabitat on Green Roofs

We do go on about green roofs, and even planted one in an earlier post. We particularly love stunning ones like the Val Thermal Baths in Switzerland from Inhabitat's coverage of green roofs- Jill writes "ever since the "back-to-the-earth" straw bale movement of the seventies, green roofs have been associated with a sloppy, crunchy aesthetic. This is an unfair and unfortunate connotation, since green roofs can be as clean, modern, and integral to “good” architecture as glass and steel." We concur. ::Inhabitat
