Ways of Greening focuses on rethinking working and living spaces
and understanding how "greening" can make them healthier and their
occupants happier. This book teaches how to see unique ideas for
spaces, and some of the materials needed to create the designs.
Inspired by a study that states that 8% of a space needs to have
plants in order to positively affect the air quality of the space,
this book explores what that minimum would look like in spaces, and
how it can be done to existing spaces as well as to new designs of
site, greening both interiors and exteriors. Using the mathematical
amount of 10% per square foot, the illustrations start at that
quantity of greening and show how it can look. The sites selected
are both public and private sites, as well as interior and
exterior. As there are more modalities, needs, and locations where
people now work, making sure that multiple types of spaces are
designed for people’s success is more relevant than ever. This
includes designs for more traditional offices, open-air offices,
commercial spaces, homes, apartments, and more. This book gives
readers a way to not only understand greening but to understand how
to see greening applied to their place. The two basic ways to see
the spaces selected are- existing spaces to which greening design
is applied afterward; and upcoming spaces in which greening design
can be built into the space. The first type of retrofitting
greening into existing space can also be combined with the second
type of space (new designs). There are examples of both types
throughout the book. Essentially, this book addresses ways in which
business owners, residents, developers, architects, agencies, and
others can integrate greening to improve the air quality and the
quality of life with a green solution.
