The Bosco Verticale.
The Bosco Verticale, also known as the vertical forest, is considered one of the most innovative high-rise buildings in the world, with Architect Stefano Boeri now planning further green high-rise projects in China. Thanks to their spacious balconies, the twin towers in the new Porta Nuova district provide space for 900 trees and more than 20,000 plants. This green architecture corresponds to a forest area of 7,000 square metres, with the Bosco Verticale trees growing up to a height of nine metres.
“The vertical forest goes towards improving the microclimate on the balconies and in the apartments. The plants generate moisture, absorb dust particles and carbon dioxide and release oxygen,” states Stefano Boeri, the architect of the twin towers, about the ecological benefits of the Bosco Verticale.
