THE "ROOF-PLAN OF BATTERSEA"

The coloured-up roof plan shows how much of the site surface can be 'greened' if the roof garden is accepted as a better way of introducing plants than forcing people to leave the ground and live in towers - as Corbusier, and the 20C advised. To understand the 'iconic engineering' of the roof garden go to the section on the 'Attic Floor' in 'Raft of Fire, Mountain of Water: the nature of Western Space'.
