Concurrent with farmland conversion to other uses, visual and textual references to farms and rural topics have become more prevalent. Subdivisions retained the names of the farms they replaced, or named streets after horses, racetracks or related artifacts. Architectural details associated with horse farms or iconic elements of the Bluegrass are seen in commercial areas, for instance, the green roofs and cupolas at Lexington Green mall, built in 1985-1986 at the intersection of New Circle and Nicholasville Road. Both the Festival Market building downtown (1985-1986) (Fig. 72.10) and University of Kentucky s Young Library (1995-1997) recall the form of Red Mile Harness Track s Floral Hall. 

The use of green roofs on commercial developments continues to grow in both market size and individual physical size. A typical green roof has multiple layers of geosynthetics including several layers of geotextiles.
