In the city of Belfort, France a new green-roofed stadium has arisen on top of the centuries-old fortification of a defensive wall. The glass-shrouded green-roofed sports complex stands in smart contrast with the neighboring 17th century stone walls, and at night it gives off a gentle glow signaling “game on”. Archi5 Architecture is getting quite the reputation for developing undulating green-roofed buildings, and their Lighthouse Stadium cements the viability of green roofs in public architecture.
