In the spring, my wife was looking for fertilizer for our green roof. She consulted Gemini (or whatever is being the Google AI search), and half of the green roof died as a result.
We'll have to get it back in shape in the fall. This time, we'll consult a true expert.

At the participative shelter construction site of the "Gestaltung" master's project "Common Shelter" we finalized the sidewalls and the roof from friday to monday. Part of it were layers of a green roof, with mats of pre-grown plants. More in the construction diary: https://shelter.apgw.de/?lang=en#2026_06_12
Also examples of inspiring art were present at the construction site, in form of the (german) books "30 years - Joseph Beuys - 7000 oaks" and "Arte povera - Manifests, Statements, Critiques" (translation by me). Parts of it will be included in my master's thesis I have to finish until july the 7th 2026.
Participative Construction Site(s):
Last work at the ecosphere shelter in Rietberg will be possibly done from 10th to 12th july 2026. From 17th to 19th july I have to build an additional temporary shelter in front of the Faculty of Design (Lampingstraße 3) of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Bielefeld for the "Werkschau" (exam exhibition).

“Pflanzen, die an seltsamen Stellen wachsen” / Plants in strange placesThe Javits Center in NY is well-known as a sprawling site for events like New York Comic Con, but perhaps fewer people know it has a 7-acre green roof made of sedum (or stonecrop) plants, with an orchard and rooftop farm, that’s also a wildlife sanctuary for over 70 species of birds. Seen here through one of the dotted bird-safe glass panels used all over the building.

Cooling green roofs seemed like an impossible dream for Brazil's favelas. Not true!
Cheap, lightweight hydroponics systems that use material recycled from plastic bottles reduce the “heat island” effect and can be installed on just about any kind of structure - even those that could never support the weight of a conventional green roof.

RHS: How to Build a Green Roof
"If you have a small shed, bin or bike store or even a rabbit hutch you could install a green roof to boost biodiversity, soak up rainfall and turn something functional into something beautiful and good for the environment"

Green roofs can help to slow water runoff and reduce flooding, all while naturally cooling buildings and benefiting biodiversity. #ReasonsToBeCheerful has a good article about recent successes with green roofs in the Netherlands. These are next level green roofs with in-built computer regulated water flow.
“A study of Resilio’s blue-green roofs found they could capture up to 97 percent of extreme precipitation — considerably more than a conventional green roof, which typically captures around 12 percent, and more than conventional blue-green roofs, which capture around half.”

I built a bin shed with green roof 18 months ago. Pleased with how it has turned out. Sedum/ Petrosedum rupestre has started to dominate and I will thin it out and plant a few plugs of other things in this autumn. Bees love it though. #greenroof #sedum #petrosedum #stonecrop #pollinators

An evening walk in the City Park of Budapest: One of my favorite #buildings in #Budapest is pretty new: #Museum of #Ethnography. It has a #greenroof: you can walk on and around it 😉

A #GreenRoof is truly magical. What I like most about it is that what was once a hot, dead place of a PVC roof is now humming with life (bees buzzing, beetles crawling, etc.).

A #greenroof was installed on our house today. Not only does it look nice, but it has many advantages: it protects the roof, improves insulation, cools the roof, reduces dust...
And the city of #Brno is very generous with green roofs, covering most of the costs. -
Sedum rupestre about to flower. No idea there was so much to this plant until I propagated in a volunteer in a lily pot, summer 2022. #sedum #greenroof #succulents

In Halifax, Canada, green roofs net great results
As cities grapple with climate change, green roofs are catching carbon, shielding buildings from sunlight and moderating temperatures
Equally important for Halifax, which averages more than 1.35 metres of rain per year, is how green roofs reduce flooding by absorbing storm water and filtering runoff into grey water & sewers

At about the same time, an American anti-poverty non-profit, The Borgen Project, published an article on the #partnerships driving health and economic benefits of #GreenRoof installation across #cities in #LatinAmerica, "one green roof at a time."
