On The Roof!

About the Changing Roof Landscape
Address
Groot Heiligland 47, Haarlem 2011 EP
Hours
Tue–Sat 12 am–5 pm, Sun 1–5 pm

With the exhibition ‘On The Roof! About the Changing Roof Landscape’, the ABC Architecture Centre shows that roofs – and flat roofs in particular – may offer a solution and can make an important contribution to realising the housing construction task, climate adaptation and the energy transition. The exhibition shows the roof landscape as a ‘new layer’ (also called ‘the fifth facade’). A layer that offers space for urgent urban tasks and at the same time makes an attractive living environment possible.

The exhibition shows a selection of examples of what is happening on roofs in this city, but certainly also what is being designed on roofs elsewhere in the Netherlands and abroad: from topping up to green roofs. That the roof landscape is changing is therefore abundantly clear. ‘The roof on!’ serves as inspiration: ‘it can be done this way too!’ and perhaps even for: ‘it shouldn’t be done this way…’

Opening: 29.9.2024, 3 pm
