Bosco Verticale, Building complex in Porta Nuova, Italy
Two residential skyscrapers reaching 116 and 84 meters incorporate 730 trees, 5,000 shrubs, and 11,000 perennial plants across their facades in Milan.
The construction of these innovative towers started in autumn 2009 and finished in October 2014, transforming a former industrial area into a center of urban innovation.
Architect Stefano Boeri developed this project after visiting Dubai in 2007, envisioning an alternative to glass-covered buildings through nature integration.
The vegetation creates a microclimate that filters particulates, reduces noise, and moderates temperature fluctuations throughout the buildings.
Each tree in the complex carries an identification code linked to its scientific name and location, enabling precise maintenance of the vertical garden system.
