Vertical Forest Building

The Vertical Forest is the prototype building of a new architecture of biodiversity, which places at the center not only man, but the relationship between man and other living species.

The first case built, in Milan in the Porta Nuova area, consists of two towers 80 and 112 m high, which house a total of 800 trees (480 trees of first and second size, 300 smaller ones, 15,000 perennials and / or ground cover and 5,000 shrubs A vegetation equivalent to that of 30,000 square meters of forest and undergrowth, concentrated on 3,000 square meters of urban surface.

The vertical forest was designed by architect Stefano Boeri and his studio Stefano Boeri Architetti. It is a project born in 2007, when during a trip to Dubai Stefano Boeri had the idea of ??building a skyscraper entirely covered with trees, which could create a connection between man, the environment and other living beings.

The maintenance and care of greenery are a fundamental part for the life and growth of the inhabited organism over time.

This is why every aspect related to the plants is entrusted to the "Flying Gardeners": a specialized team of arborist-climbers who, with mountaineering techniques, once a year descend from the roof of the buildings to prune and check the state of the plants, as well as their possible removal or replacement.
