“The Bosco Verticale is a system that optimizes, recuperates, and produces energy. Covered in plant life, the building aids in balancing the\u00a0microclimate\u00a0<\/a>and in filtering the dust particles contained in the urban environment (Milan<\/a>\u00a0is one of the most polluted cities in Europe). The diversity of the plants and their characteristics produce humidity, absorb CO2 and dust particles, producing oxygen and protect the building from radiation and acoustic pollution. This not only improves the quality of living spaces, but gives way to\u00a0dramatic\u00a0energy savings year round.<\/p>\n

Each apartment in the building will have a balcony planted with trees that are able to respond to the city\u2019s weather \u2014 shade will be provided\u00a0within\u00a0the summer, while also filtering city pollution; and in the winter the bare trees will allow sunlight to permeate through the spaces.\u00a0Plant irrigation will be supported\u00a0through\u00a0the filtering and reuse of the\u00a0greywater<\/a>\u00a0produced by the building. Additionally,\u00a0Aeolian<\/a>\u00a0and photovoltaic energy systems will further promote the tower\u2019s self-sufficiency.<\/p>\n

The design of the Bosco Verticale is a response to both\u00a0urban sprawl\u00a0<\/a>and the disappearance of nature from our lives and on the landscape.\u00a0The architect notes that if the\u00a0units were to be constructed unstacked as stand-alone units across a single surface, the project would\u00a0require 50,000 square meters of land, and 10,000 square meters of woodland.\u00a0Bosco Verticale is the first offer in his proposed\u00a0BioMilano<\/a>, which envisions a green belt created around the city to\u00a0incorporate\u00a060 abandoned farms on the outskirts of the city to be revitalized for community use.<\/p>\n
