Faculty Architecture and The Built Environment Department Architectural Engineering and Technology Date 2014-01-27 Abstract This "designers' manual" is made during the TIDO-course AR0533 Innovation & Sustainability. This manual tries to deliver basic insight in the topic of rooftop farms, the spectrum of options and what is or is not possible on your specific roof. The matrix on the first page serves you the overview. It presents the general possibilities and consequences of the combination between certain building rooftops and certain rooftop farming systems. The chapters in this manual cover the background of these variables. Assuming you have a specific building in mind, that’ll be the starting point. In the first chapter different typical Dutch housing buildings are described and elaborated on specific aspects important for any addition of a rooftop garden. The main factor is the margin in load bearing capacity of the buildings’ roof. But also the typical build-ups of these roofs are factor of relevance.
