This document discusses roof gardens, including their history and benefits. Some key points:
- Roof gardens provide environmental, social, and economic benefits beyond aesthetics, including food production, temperature regulation, wildlife habitats, and recreation.
- The earliest known roof gardens date back thousands of years to Mesopotamian stepped pyramids and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon around 500 BC. In later eras, roof gardens were used in Christian architecture and by wealthy families.
- Modern roof gardens can significantly cool indoor and roof temperatures through evapotranspiration and shading from plant cover. Proper planning, waterproofing, drainage, and soil installation is required to support plant life on rooftops
A green wall is a wall partially or completely covered with greenery that includes a growing medium, such as soil. Most green walls also feature an integrated water delivery system. Green walls are also known as living walls or vertical gardens.
Sustainable landscaping encompasses a variety of practices that have developed in response to environmental issues. These practices are used in every phase of landscaping, including design, construction, implementation and management of residential and commercial landscapes.
The presentation is based on interior landscaping and it's importance in the 21st century. The presentation is based on the interior construction of Stepping Park House, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Today, in many parts of Japan and the western parts of the world the traditions of Japanese garden art are still maintained. The intensity of expression, continue to inspire many artists that aspire to create a personal Japanese garden of their own. They are popularly known as zen gardens.

Types of Materials:
Bricks
1. Hollow Blocks
2. Green Bricks
Making & Use
Differentiate green bricks for the materials they are constructed and there are several proposals (in line or already in progress) of bricks with different components:
Coal ash: This was an idea of a civil engineer, Henry Liu, in 1999, with a double environmental benefit. With this material the bricks are obtained at 212 degrees in 10 hours and take advantage of 45 million tons of the waste generated by coal power plants.
Hemp and straw: This brick and green has been used by Spanish companies. Despite the apparent fragility of the material hardness is similar to conventional ones. They have the disadvantage of being more expensive but well isolated from the outside temperature. This represents a savings of energy expenditure for heating and air conditioning, so that pays the price soon.
Used plastic and peanut shells: ecological bricks of this material are a creation of the Experimental Center for Economic Housing in Argentina who says they are tough, lightweight insulation and economic. In addition to producing energy savings possible recycling of waste for production.
BASICS OF GREENHOUSE, TYPES OF GREENHOUSE, COMPONENTS OF GREENHOUSE, ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AND THEIR EFFECT ON PLANT GROWTH
Greenhouse:
It is a framed or inflated structures covered with transparent or translucent material large enough to grow crops under partial or fully controlled environmental conditions to get optimum growth and productivity.
Principles of greenhouse:
The greenhouse cultivation based upon the principle called as greenhouse effects.
Greenhouse transmit the solar energy inside the structure. This energy absorbed by the crops and the objects inside the house releasing light of long wave length, finally this light does not emit out as the cladding material is non-transparent for these light.
Finally the light gets trapped inside increasing the inside temperature. This rise in temperature in greenhouse is responsible for plant growth in cold climate.
However during summer increase in temperature can be managed by ventilation and cooling system, as in this period temperature rose beyond the critical temperature.
Green roofs & green walls-A green roof or living roof is a roof of a building that is partially or completely covered with vegetation and a growing medium, planted over a waterproofing membrane.
It includes additional drainage and irrigation systems.
Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

7 Alternatives to Bullet Points in PowerPointAlvis Oh
So you tried all the ways to beautify your bullet points on your pitch deck but it just got way uglier. These points are supposed to be memorable and leave a lasting impression on your audience. With these tips, you'll no longer have to spend so much time thinking how you should present your pointers.
1. Roof Garden
Green roof is an environmental,
social and economical use of the
building roof.
2. Roof garden
• A roof garden is any garden
on the roof of a building.
Besides the decorative
benefit, roof plantings may
provide food, temperature
control, hydrological
benefits, architectural
enhancement, habitats or
corridors for wildlife, and
recreational opportunities.
The practice of cultivating
food on the rooftop of
buildings is sometimes
referred to as rooftop
farming.
3. History of roof gardens
• The first known historical
reference to a roof garden
above grade is for the stone
temples
• in the region of Mesopotamia.
Civilizations in Mesopotamia
built
• roof gardens thousands of
years ago on the landings of
Ziggurats, or stepped pyramids.
• The plantings of trees and
shrubs softened the climb,
provided shade and relief from
the heat
4. • The next known successor to the
roof gardens are the Hanging
Gardens of Babylon built
• by the Persians around the 500
B.C (Weiler & Barth, 2009). The
roof gardens along with being a
visual delight cooled the hot
landscapes and provided greenery
5. The World Exhibition in Paris
1867 was one of the first demonstrations of a
planted concrete roof in Western Europe
In the Middle Ages and
Renaissance, there were
additional demands from the
roof
gardens and that was to meet
the demands of Christian
ecclesiastical architecture and
wealthy families of the era
(Osmundson, 1999). Palazzo

7. Roof garden
• The first and most important step involved in making terrace garden
is to identify the area of terrace where you plan to build a roof
garden.
• the roof on which we are designing garden should be strong
enough to carry the weight of garden.
• The roof should not have any leakage of water in roof and it should
have effective drainage system.
• Roof garden can be made on half of terrace leaving a patio to make
a sitting place.
8. Water proofing of roof
• Next step is water proofing the roof
slab to prevent the seepage in the
roof. A proper water proofing
treatment should be done before
building a roof garden.
• Chemical based water proofing
treatment is more effective than
covering based water proofing.
• Drainage pipes should also be laid
over the roof slab.
• A water proof covering with the
thermoplastic or rubberized sheeting
should be installed.
• Filter sheet is also necessary to drain
off the moisture from the roof slab.
9. Steps to be followed.
STEP 1: waterproofing
• Cutting and laying of liner ( waterproofing
membrane)
• Applying solvent
• Fixing liner
• Leakage test by keeping water for upto
48hrs
STEP 2: Installation of drainage cells
STEP 3: Laying of geotextile
STEP 4: Filling planting soil
• Filling of sand, soil and coco pit
• Mixing of planting soil
• Leveling
STEP 5: Planting plants
14. 1. Plants cool the air around the
rooftop through evapo-
transpiration and shading from
the plant cover.
2. Evapo-transpiration is the sum
effect of evaporation and plant
transpiration from the surface of
the vegetation that results in the
cooling of the surface as water
evaporates from it.
3. Reductions of up to 90% in
solar gain on roof area shaded
by plant cover compared to un-
shaded location can be
achieved and indoor
temperature decrease of 3-4˚C
(6-8 ˚F) may be attained (Peck,
2008).

16. • 2 x 200mm thick concrete slabs, each 4
metres maximum span, on load-bearing
perimeter walls of 300mm aerated concrete
blockwork and two internal columns
running from ground to roof (key location
points for walls in the flexible internal
apartment layouts).
• A 400mm high concrete upstand surrounds
the slabs. Drainage outlets placed at 3 – 4
metre intervals were reduced in number in
the final construction.
• Two layers of bituminous, heat-welded
waterproof membrane were applied to
minimise potential for leaks.
• 19mm of sand was spread over the
bituminous layer as a bed for butt-jointed
concrete pavers providing mechanical
protection against garden implements.

17. • A proprietary polyethylene mesh (rather
than heavy gravel) was laid as a drainage
layer.
• Geotextile was laid on the mesh
followed by a thin layer of sand.
• Finally, 350mm of growing medium
(lightweight soil) was blown up on to
the roof through a kind of giant vacuum
cleaner.
• Clay pavers have been used to deliniate
between pathways and growing spaces.
An irrigation system of microsprays
keeps it watered with recycled water
during summer, twice a week.
• There is a bottomless metal container,
with lid, which holds worms that are fed
once or twice a week with veggie scraps.
• A small pond with water plants has been
added – to attract birds as well as
allowing small children (under
supervision) to dangle their feet.
18. Benefits
• Expand roof life 2x3 times

• Stormwater management
• Improve public relations
• Transform dead space into
garden space
• Reduce city “heat island”
effect
• Reduce smog and improve
air quality
• Reduce noise
• Reduce energy demand
