The Parisian building typology was designed in the 19th century with a thoughtful understanding of the local weather to offer inhabitants an embellished, naturally ventilated city. Nowadays, however, to tackle both the urging exigencies of climate change and the pressing urban densification, we need to find new ways of inhabiting the city.

ROOFSCAPES enables the transformation of your untapped rooftop into an accessible green roof. We combine exquisite architectural design with in-depth research from MIT in the climatic, structural, and legal realms, to mitigate climate change locally and provide new spaces from where to admire the city.
