First edition, First impression of Rooftop by Brad Temkin. Medium format hardback in clear lucite slipcase, in new condition. About Rooftop draws poetic attention to a significant new movement which counters the heat-island effect afflicting cities across the globe. The benefit of green roofs reaches beyond reduced carbon footprint and improved storm water control. These grassy spaces embody the conflict of our existence, symbolizing the allure of nature in the face of expanding urban sprawl. Shot in locations ranging from Chicago to Zurich, Brad Temkin situates his organic subjects within the steel, stone and glass angularity of urban structures, inviting viewers to revel in the open patterns and colours of these rooftop landscapes and their unobstructed connection to the sky.
