SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) - Following eight years of construction, the Salesforce Transit Center in San Francisco was shut down a little more than six weeks after opening when a cracked beam was discovered on Tuesday, Sept. Whether you’d want to tackle a high-maintenance green roof, complete with large trees, or plant a small container garden, the resulting space can act as an additional outdoor room for all the al fresco lounging, dining, and entertaining you can fit into a summer season.100 Days and Counting: The Salesforce Transit Center shutdown continues “As well as additional living space, green roofs can add a whole host of other benefits, including increasing the value of properties, supporting biodiversity, filtering air pollution, and even mitigating stormwater runoff and alleviating overflow,” Penn writes. The benefits of a living roof don’t stop at the natural beauty it provides. Author Ashley Penn, a landscape architect and Chartered Member of the United Kingdom’s Landscape Institute, catalogues the plants and materials used in 35 projects across the globe, from Austin, Texas, to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
