THE BENEFITS OF SKY GARDENS TO PROMOTING HEALTH AND WELLBEING

06 May 2020 by Tony Ip Green Architects Limited

Sky garden, a covered / partially covered naturally ventilated landscaped area at a high level, is designed to improve ventilation and thermal conditions of a micro-climate and provide a recreational space for simultaneous enhancement of social interaction and neighbourhood quality. The provision of sky gardens as a sustainable design strategy aims at improving the quality of a living environment to balance social, environmental and economic concerns. In densely occupied, high-rise contexts, can these objectives be achieved practically?
