LIVING ARCHITECTURE MONITOR / WINTER 2017 / 32

The Journal of Living Architecture (JLIV) is the official, peer-reviewed journal of the
Green Infrastructure Foundation. The JLIV is written, reviewed, and edited by living
architecture research professionals, sharing with their colleagues: successful educational
applications, original research findings, scholarly opinions, educational resources and
challenges on issues of critical importance to living architecture professionals and educators. The JLIV is published exclusively on the Living Architecture Monitor magazine
website. The magazine publishes the abstracts of each published JLIV manuscript, with a
link to the full paper online.

CATALYZING DESIGN-SCIENCE FEEDBACK LOOP
IN GREEN ROOF OPTIMIZATION FOR HOT CLIMATES
John Hart Asher1, Michelle Bertelsen1, Mark Simmons1

ABSTRACT
Synthetic ecosystems such as rain gardens, green roofs, engineered wetlands and urban
meadows are becoming increasingly popular for their intrinsic environmental and ecological benefits as well as for their aesthetic value. But, as in many emerging technologies,
communication between the academic institutions generating basic and applied science
and the design disciplines is not as efficient as it could be, and strengthening this link will
improve the performance of these systems. The case study serves to illustrate the process of
linking research, design and implementation. Scientific research, performed by the authors
and found in the literature, is used to inform design, and design challenges are used to suggest avenues of research. The research itself is briefly outlined where appropriate, but the
focus of this paper is the process of linking science and design in a feedback loop.

PHOTOVOLTAIC ARRAY INFLUENCES
THE GROWTH OF GREEN ROOF PLANTS

JENNIFER BOUSSELOT1, THOMAS SLABE2, JAMES KLETT3, RONDA KOSKI4
ABSTRACT
A multi-faceted research project was conducted on a modular green roof in semi-arid,
high elevation Denver, Colorado U.S.A. A photovoltaic (PV) array ran along the
southeastern edge of the research area and visibly influenced the plant growth, cover
and biomass. Plants grown near the PV prospered compared to plants in the exposed
area. Average summer temperatures in the modules under the PV array were cooler
with less temperature variation compared to the modules located in the exposed areas
of the green roof. Shading structures integrated on green roofs may produce effects
that resemble natural ecotones tending towards greater plant coverage and biomass,
and therefore greater green roof resilience.
