OFELIA & KIM'S BIG IDEA

We love the design of OCAD’s famous “tabletop” although we feel it is not reaching it’s fullest potential. As we have been doing numerous projects concerning the environment, We feel that the roof is a great opportunity to make a difference and boost OCAD’s Green Grade. We could utilize the tabletop to create what is known as a “Green Roof”. These have become popular is such cities as Chicago as they are a great way to make nature and industrial developments work together to make a difference in our environment. There are many benefits of the Green Roof including reduced city temperatures, reduced air pollution, improved rainfall runoff quality and a 40% increase in absorption of rainfall runoff that could lead to potential flooding. We also feel that OCAD lacks in area’s in which we can hang out and be social with one another. What better place to be than floating above the city on one of Toronto’s most bizarre buildings. We think this would be a great place to relax between classes while it would also bring great opportunity to be social and interact with each other’s creative minds.
