THE DEVELOPMENT OF GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE IN MODERN BUILDINGS

Abstract

Since the 20th century, sustainable development has evolved in architectural design, and green infrastructures of plant-covered buildings have become popular. With the support of technology, various types of green infrastructures such as green roofs, green facades, and vertical gardens have become an integral part of urban architecture as a new architectural element. The green appearance of buildings can not only regulate the temperature and air quality, and control the amount of light inside the building, but also be a new architectural aesthetic element. However, the development of green infrastructure technology has not yet achieved the expected results in construction practice, and many existing vegetation buildings do not show qualified ecological and economic effects. As an emerging architectural approach, the natural elements of vegetation conflict with the elements of modern cities, and designers need to pay more attention to solving this problem and improve the user's participation and sense of identity in the architectural space.
