Abstract
Fusing function and form, commercial building roofs in the United States are opening up new vantage points for taking in iconic cities, landmarks; and waterways. As local ordinances make protected membrane roof assemblies(PMRAs) more attractive to designers, They are also growing in the sheer size some PMRAs measure more than 46,452 MF (500,000 SF) and a network of vegetative roof assemblies (VRAs) in Washington D.C. spans nearly a mile of waterfront. Whether topping federal buildings, high-end hotels, or event centers, VRAs support sustainability efforts, and beauty, and serve as multipurpose gathering spaces.
