The Darwinian Gale and the era of consequences

All of my reading and exhibitions and workshops have directed me to further areas of interest. There are some quite random books in there, and probably will be going forward, which I hope will just help develop my imagination and creativity.

At the moment I seem very far off from creating a precise and concise question that encompasses my interests and passions in this field.

My initial ideas have changed dramatically from the idea of green roofs, and throughout the summer my journey has taken me down a variety of quite different paths.

My current reading is looking different types of housing and house of currently un-utilised spaces. There is a lot of very interesting work already going on, the case study about the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) retrofiting a green roof atop its Washington, DC, brownstone headquarters was really interesting. The space (3300-square-foot) takes all ecologically issues into consideration, yet is welcoming and interesting in its design.
