Dear Kate,

Thanks for writing this article...

You may be interested to know that the company who has been called on to make this green roof possible is American Hydrotech, Inc. We specialize in challenging designs such as the one you describe in your article and with almost 500 projects installed in North America over the past 15 years we have many examples of green roofs that capture the imagination from a design and engineering aspect.

We at Hydrotech welcome the opportunity to collaborate on such a significant project and I personally believe that Liz Diller's design will inspire and educate thousands throughout the world to the beauty of green roofs and last as an architectural landmark in a similar fashion as I.M Pei's design of the glass pyrimad shylight at the entrance to the Louvre museum in Paris.

Regards,

Matthew Carr, Eastern Regional Manager/Garden Roof Specialist, American Hydrotech, Inc.
