Rooftop decks create valuable living and recreational space for building owners, residents, and clients. Accommodating restaurants, hotels, healthcare facilities, and everything from residential to government buildings, rooftop deck systems offer the design flexibility to create versatile, unique outdoor spaces over any structural surface. This course explores the features, surface materials, and design options for rooftop deck systems and provides an overview of recommended planning and installation guidelines.

Incorporating nature into the built environment through biophilic design increases occupant well-being, productivity, and health and is an integral component of an ecologically healthy and sustainable community. Presented here is an overview of biophilic design, its relationship to sustainability, and its positive human, environmental, and economic outcomes. Case studies demonstrate how rooftop deck systems can contribute to biophilic and sustainable design objectives.

Sustainable landscape architecture is essential in today’s outdoor and urban environment. This presentation will explore the hardscaping elements that architects, landscape architects, engineers and other design professionals can use to create multi-layered systems that aid in the design of sustainable spaces that promote health and well-being. While there is no single method of resilient landscape planning & design, this presentation will offer insights into permeable pavers as a method for stormwater management, the impact of pavers with high solar reflectance on heat island effect, and utilizing recycled materials in pavers.

WEDG® (Waterfront Edge Design Guidelines) is the gold standard for resilient, ecologically-sound, and accessible projects that touch the water's edge. WEDG is a national rating system that has verified projects that include everything from industrial facilities in the Bronx and mixed-use developments in Brooklyn to public park space in North Carolina. From intricate ecosystems to overlapping jurisdictions and land use policies, waterfront design is complex, even for the most seasoned planners, practitioners, and communities, and is becoming even more so with the growing risk of coastal flooding due to sea level rise. With help from hundreds of experts in design, science, community development, engineering, and insurance—the Waterfront Alliance developed WEDG, a science-based voluntary rating system and set of guidelines to address these challenges at the project scale. In this presentation, we’ll share an overview of the WEDG standards and discuss how design firms, agencies, and developers can use them to design exceptional waterfront

Description: Landscape architecture has a labor acknowledgement, recognition, and compensation problem. This integrative session will explore how to start to address and bridge the unspoken divide in landscape architecture between ‘professional’ design workers and the skill, craftsmanship and manual labor of crews who build these projects.
TERREMOTO Partners Story Wiggins and Jenny Jones will present on the studio’s Land and Labor working group. And they will bring in additional speakers tbc to explore topics including compensation and alternative benefits, advocating for workers with clients, credit and representation, and the environmental imperative to better value land care. Attendees will also be encouraged to share their own experiences, questions, practices and challenges on the theme of land and labor.
