Vertical forest by Boeri Architetti

Architect in Milan and founder of the “Stefano Boeri Architetti”, Stefano Boeri was born in 1956 and has acquired a worldwide fame in his field. The studio is currently working on the Bosco Verticale project, two vertical urban reforestation towers currently under construction in the Porta Nuova Isola neighborhood in Milan. They will measure 80 and 112 meters and will accommodate nearly 480 trees of medium and large size, 250 small, 11,000 plants on the ground and 5,000 shrubs.

The concept of Bosco Verticale is to build several towers with a high density of trees to encourage the reintegration of nature in the city. It is a unique example of sustainable architecture in which plants, combined with the choice of materials and technological solutions, reduce the energy consumption of buildings by 30%, protect them from noise, filter particles and increase biodiversity urban.
