Inspiration Pictures


Piazza Vavonna

Sorry guys, I don't remember the exact name of the fountain but you know what it is.. :)
The fountain looks awesome but I like the tower in the middle that stands out..
















Piazza Navonna (one more...)

I just like how the buildings surround the entire piazza and it gives a stong sense of community. 
Not a great photo but you can still see what i mean... right?! lol 









The Night sight of Castel Sant'Angelo.
I just thought the lighting of this street was amazing and beautiful. And how the castle stands out from the far view from the lighting and you can just be amazed by it. I know this is not exactly related to "Green Roof" idea but I think we can definitely incorporate lighting ideas into our garden so people can enjoy the place at night like a lot of Italians do. 





It looks like I only have pictures taken at night time.. hope you don't mind. I just came across with the whole lighitng idea and night life they have in Italy and wanted to add that thoughts into our project. I'll research more into it if necessary. or, am I too far off?! 
ok so.. that's it for now! 




Water Fountain

this fountain was at the street
across from Colosseum.
we can add it this kind of fountain to our project garden
which inspired Rome. . .

Inspiration Photos



Here is the image of the living wall we saw in Madrid. I know it is not something we all saw, but it think is a great inspiration!!


















This is not a photo from Italy, but I thought it relates pretty well. It is a courtyard from the Dublin Castle. I really like the way it expresses gathering by the paths that run through it. Maybe a good starter idea for the green roofs.
I don't have any of my Rome pictures for some reason...so this is what I have. I assume everyone else will be posting Italy pictures so there will be plenty of inspiration for those.
Ciao!
