Abstract

Cities represent a massive area of dense materials that accumulate heat, do not retain rainwater, and therefore create an unpleasant condition for life. Many countries apply green roofs as an effective and practical tool to mitigate the adverse effects of urbanization. They are often designed as intensive and extensive. In recent years, a lot of research has been done on green roofs for a better understanding of their behavior in different conditions. In recent years, experimental green roofs have also started emerging in Slovakia. At the same time, the idea of restoring vegetation to industrial zones with help of such construction was made. The paper focuses on the latest planned phase of the project for the greening of an office building with an adjacent area in an industrial zone. Phase five consists of the design of a biodiverse green roof that will provide an alternative habitat for fauna and flora. The main elements of the design are the compositions of green and wetland roofs. Moreover, the paper summarizes the already implemented phases of the project.
