customized shipping container into 1,2 or 3 parking spaces.The Green Roof Pop-Up Container Café is designed to be able to travel around European Cities to provide an unconventional participatory learning experience and educate the public about the benefits, components, economics, and regulations of green roofs in urban areas.
The project was accepted for poster presentation at EUGIC (European Urban Green Infrastructure Conference) and finalist for the Creative Vision, Concept or Theory category.
