The plate in brief

The roof does four jobs at once. It is a power station under the solar canopy, a farm with a seedling greenhouse and food beds, a park with pollinator habitat, and a civic room with a common table. Rain is captured off the canopy, and clear service paths and a lift keep it reachable for everyone.

An illustrative roof is 550 square meters, with 300 to 400 square meters of panels and 100 to 150 square meters of greenhouse. The uses overlap, so the areas don’t simply add up. That is the idea: stack functions, not just floors. Jerusalem’s version catches winter sun with seasonal shelter, Haifa’s resists breeze and salt, Hebron’s grows under grape shade.
