2 Book: Wissing Tuinen I Outlook Northern light Outlook Garden projects Green city

3 Office in The Netherlands Green roof

4 Garden Projects Private garden Seegers family- The Netherlands

5 Garden Projects Private garden Fischbach family - Germany

6 Garden Projects Azora den Es: nursing home -> garden for the senses

7 Garden Projects Singapore Garden Festival 2006 : `The Green Jacket

8 The Green city -Three-quarters of the world s population lives in cities -More green in urban areas -The positive effects of green -Directly involve landscape architecture in urban planning -Green is for using -> not just looking

9 Why do we need Storm Water Management? 1. To improve the ground water table. 2. Lower cost for public sewage system. 3. Lower cost for investors. 4. More green in urban areas. 5. Less impact for the nature. 6. Reduce urban heat island effect by evaporation.

10 Improvements for paved surfaces Traditional Advanced Tarmac Concrete Paving Concrete Block stones Concrete Block stones for frequent use (parking lot, firefighting roads) Paved walkway Permeable tarmac Permeable Concrete Permeable Block stones Concrete Block stones with grassgaps or grass grids Water bonded walkways

11 Improvements for paved surfaces Bare Roof Traditional Runoff into public sewage system Runoff into public sewage system Runoff into public sewage water cleaning plants Green Roof Advanced Infiltration into ground on spot Collect and utilize rainwater for toilet flash irrigation and washing machine Cleaning water with plants in pond systems and swimming ponds

12 Flood Prevention Methods, Construction De-Sealing Infiltration on Site

13 More frequently : Flooding China Beijing 2004

14 Designing with Stormwater Open Gutter drains Stormwater

15 Storm Water Circulation Paved Surface big Surface runoff Unpaved Surface less Surface runoff

16

17 The dimension of the sewage pipes can be reduced, because the quantity of water is much lower and the remaining water run-off is delayed.

18 Stormwater Infiltration in Landscape

19 Hollows (Attenuation Areas) ensure steady Infiltration of accumulated water

20 Runoff from Driveways / Parking areas into Infiltration Hollow (Attenuation Area) serving as an Overflow

21 Infiltration Hollow (Attenuation Area) integrated into Landscape

22 Infiltration Hollow in open Landscape Gate arch and gutter as design element, means Storm water management becomes visible Überlingen Lake of Constance, Germany

23 Water cleaning with plants IGA Rostock

24 Leaching Drain Pipes for Infiltration: Enlarged Retention space through Drainpipe in Pebble- / Gravel bed

25 Business parks and industrial areas: Rainwater ulitilization and aesthetics

26 Perforated Manhole for Infiltration

27 Underground Rainwater Retention (for Attenuation) made of prefabricated Concrete Units Volume 100 m³

28 Layers and Build up in Green Roofs Systems Retains and utilizes Rainwater

29 Combined Design for Attenuantion System Green Roof - Cistern Infiltration Hollow (Attenuation Area)

30 Rain Water Utilization in buildings

31 Rain Water Utilization in one Construction with Cistern (below) and perforated Concrete (top)

32 Green Roofs retain Rainwater

33 Rainwater Utilization on Green Roofs Wissing Tuinen Office, The Netherlands, Megchelen

34 Intensive Roof Gardens retain Water

35 Grass Gap Paving, not only for Walkways

36 Permeable Paving Paving work of Landscape Contractor

37 Grass-Grid-Stones, a classic.
