English term or phrase: plinth roof
A rainwater and condensate collection and recycling system fulfills 100% of the irrigation needs for the site, as well as over half the needs for toilet flushing and sewage conveyance.
Through the design of the plinth and the water collection system, the collection of rainwater can be readily observed by visitors.

"Via this outside staircase one steps on top of the plinth, which forms a communal roof terrace, offering unexpected urban views. From the plinth’s roof one can enter one of the two hotel rooms. The other room is accessible via a spiral staircase, which is part of the red volume. This sequence reinforces the idea of a plinth and a superstructure as independent elements."

"Visitors enter via a wooden ramp that takes them directly beneath the gallery space. From here they may choose to enter the plinth, which holds restaurants, shops and other public venues, or they can ascend into the galleries themselves."

toiture du socle


Explanation:
le musée a une partie basse (socle : plinth) avec toiture végétalisée
http://www.perotmuseum.org/explore-the-museum/building/index...

it's "the roof of the plinth" rather than "plinth-shaped roof"

"Dédié à la nature et aux sciences, le Musée Perot à Dallas, ouvert en 2013, se voit comme un grand cube flottant sur un socle paysager."
