	Design 2 (Ana) - is based on a variety of native plants placed in stripes that are parallel with the terrace edge. Stripes differ in plants, based on their height, color and texture to achieve complexity and biodiversity and enable sustainable stormwater management. Trees serve as an addition to the complexity and provide some shade. People can sit on the benches that are placed on the border of the stripes or at the table, depending on their preferences.

			Design 3 (Manfredi) - starts from a geometrical approach to planting design: offsets starting from the terrace edge lines define the shapes of the terrace itself, creating a path which opens to the main views if you're walking through the place. Benches are positioned to suggest the visitor view to look at the building itself, trying to make some relations between the scaling-height plants and the urban landscape.

	Design 1 (Valeria) - is based on native and low water requirements plants in order to create an efficient water landscaping. Hights of plants were selected in order to improve the original views to Lezama Park. Higher plants also provide shadow and recreate small cozy places for workers to stay. Some benches and sun umbrellas were placed to enjoy the views and take some break during work.

Summary of the collaborative process

	After several proposals what site would be most appropriate for our collaborative design we decided upon Canale building in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Individual analysis of the site and its surroundings, depending on the difference in the approach, led to a more specific analysis of the site's components. Objectives derived from the main problems concerning the site and collaboratively we tried to solve the main issues. It seemed that the main problem was lack of green surfaces around the site and since we decided to make a more comfortable surroundings for the workers of the building the best approach was a green roof. A green roof is not just a place for the workers to rest or enjoy the view from the roof but it also provides a sustainable stormwater management.

	A joint proposal that originated from the individual approach consolidates all the ideas into one that provides most comfort for the workers and the environment. The goal of planting design was to create a complexity of visual, tactile and olfactory unity through different colors, textures and smells by using a diversity of plants. ~~Only native~~ species of plants were selected because of their adaptation to the local climate. A diversity of plants would become a habitat or a food source for a variety of insects and birds.

	Sustainable management of stormwater through a green roof decreases the amount of stormwater that ends up in the sewer during heavy precipitation and also decreases flood risk. While draining through the soil and other layer on the roof water is purified and can be collected and stored for future use or it can be released into the sewer without the risk of contamination of natural streams and rivers.

	Green roof also helps in improving the air quality and presence of plants decreases air temperatures at the site. It also lowers cost for energy needed for heating and cooling the building by maintaining its ~~temperture~~ roughly at a constant without major fluctuations.
