PECULIARITIES OF BUILDING ROOF LANDSCAPE DESIGN IN UZBEKISTAN'S CONDITIONS (ZARAFSHAN CITY CASE STUDY)

This article analyzes the architectural and design characteristics of rooftop landscape planning within the arid climate of Uzbekistan, specifically focusing on the city of Zarafshan. It explores the optimization of green roofs under conditions of high solar radiation, extreme heat, and water scarcity. Through a comparative analysis of several sites, the study examines structural systems, vegetation cover, and water management strategies. The findings demonstrate that locally adapted green roofs enhance the thermal efficiency of buildings, create additional functional spaces, and improve the overall ecological environment. Furthermore, the study proposes a design model that harmoniously integrates these modern solutions with traditional architectural principles.
