One of the main traditional elements of architecture – the roof – is gaining renewed prominence.
This book provides a survey of worldwide experiences of city rooftop re-use strategies such as building-on and integrating new volumes within the existing structures.
Twenty-four case studies illustrate a multiplicity of projects that innovate on traditional typologies by offering multiple ways of living, working and using public services in the city.
