Rent
To Own.ph: We already see plant billboards along EDSA and vertical gardens on
the walls of underpasses here in Metro Manila but this design structure takes
it one step further. Forest buildings might just be going up in the near
future.

Milan-based
architecture studio Stefano
Boeri‘s Vertical Forest is a residential building duo
named Bosco
Verticale that can be seen in construction in the
metropolitan center of Milan, Italy. This exciting green residential project
was meant for growing forests in the sky and allowing residents and neighbors
to enjoy fresh outdoor air. Bosco Verticale adds green space in an
over-industrialized busy city, challenging future metropolis to offer its
inhabitants a safe, healthy environment. Biodiversity in urban spaces will not
be a problem once more projects like this will appear in the urban landscape.

A budget of 65.000.000,00 Euros allowed the architects to
build on a surface of 40,000 square meters. Each of the four sides of the
76-meter building will house 900 mature trees. Tree-planted balconies in a
vertical garden tower will become available with the construction of this
building and I can’t wait to see how the trees hold in the winds. Large
concrete balconies will act as planting boxes that will ensure a dense
forestation. Vegetation ranging from 3, 6 and 9 meters tall will adorn the
balconies. The same amount of trees, shrubs and plants in a garden would
require 50,000 square meters of land, and 10,000 square meters of natural
forest space. With an irrigation system and flora while photovoltaic energy
systems contributing to self-sufficiency, Bosco Verticale would be a candidate
for the best Zombie apocalypse fortress.
