In the upper left, on the flat roof of the Eugene Young Environmental Center, a worker is tossing the first bags of soil to be spread for the "green roof." A green roof of growing plants (sedums, in this case), makes a building's roof remain in some degree a "natural" surface. In the lower right, the metal grid sticking out is the folded-up side door. This works like a folding garage door, with glass panels soon to be inserted in the spaces of the grid. Shut, it forms a part of the glass wall. Open, it creates a broad opening in the side of the building. Events can flow from inside the building out through the broad opening of the "garage door" into the space sheltered by the shade structure.
