Bosco Verticale

I recently had the chance to visit Bosco Verticale, and I was thoroughly impressed by the experience. The building's design is truly innovative, and the integration of greenery into the structure is both striking and beautiful. The lush, green façade adds a refreshing touch to the urban landscape, making it a standout landmark in the city. The maintenance of the greenery was also commendable. The plants looked healthy and well-cared-for, which really enhances the overall aesthetic and reinforces the building's commitment to sustainability. Bosco Verticale is not only an architectural marvel but also a beautiful example of how nature can be harmoniously incorporated into urban living.

It's such a beautiful building. I absolutely love all the greenery surrounding it. It gives a new perspective on nature being embedded in modern buildings.

Bosco Verticale in Milan is an architectural marvel that seamlessly integrates nature with urban living. Designed by Stefano Boeri, these two residential towers are covered with 900 trees, 5,000 shrubs, and 11,000 smaller plants, creating a "vertical forest" right in the heart of the city. The greenery not only enhances the building's aesthetic appeal but also improves air quality, reduces pollution, and provides a habitat for wildlife. The maintenance of the plants is meticulously managed with an automated irrigation system and regular care by specialized gardeners. This project is a shining example of sustainable architecture, making a powerful statement on the importance of integrating nature into cityscapes. Bosco Verticale is a must-see for anyone visiting Milan and stands as a symbol of forward-thinking, eco-friendly design.

The world’s first green building at this scale, very pleasant for the eyes, either from close distance or afar. Surroundings area isn’t crowded, you can have a nice stroll in the neighborhood since it’s very close to the metro or trams. A piece of modern architecture and the cornerstone for sustainable building, it’s worth allocating 30 minutes of your time to see it.

Out for a walk near Piazza Gae Aulenti and couldn't miss these. Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest) is a complex of two residential skyscrapers completed in 2014. One is 116 metres (381 ft) and the other 84 m (276 ft) and within the complex is an 11-storey office building. Each balcony has its own trees and plants and it all looks well looked after. I have never seen such green buildings before. Nothing you can do other than walk past, but it is worth it. There should be more buildings like this!

The buildings have a very modern and innovative look. All what you see are glass balconies with green bushes hanging from them which play a role in keeping the air clean. It's located near a park and garden. This type of architecture is not only good for the environment, it's also very technologically advanced. I'm glad that something like this was built in Italy, but it would be a great idea if something like this could be built in Croatia too since it needs buildings with greenery.

very interesting, unique and modern place. you can feel like in Singapore. there's also a green square nearby

An impressive building. It fits in perfectly with the already planted Italian balconies and buildings. Basically the idea is good but it is too new to judge how sustainable and viable such an initiative/architectural direction is. We will find out in a few decades... Worth a look and a tour!
