Bosco Verticale is a pair of residential towers located in the Porta Nuova district of Milan, Italy. Completed in 2014, the towers are designed to be a sustainable and eco-friendly solution to urban living, with over 900 trees and thousands of plants growing on the façades and balconies of the buildings. The two towers of Bosco Verticale are 110 and 76 meters tall, respectively, and are home to over 800 trees and 14,000 plants. The plants on the façades of the towers are carefully selected to provide natural shade, absorb carbon dioxide, and reduce noise pollution, while also creating a stunning visual effect. In addition to their impressive greenery, the towers of Bosco Verticale also feature a range of sustainable technologies, including solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems, and high-performance insulation. These features help to reduce the buildings' energy consumption and make them more self-sufficient. Fun fact: Bosco Verticale has won numerous awards and accolades for its innovative design and sustainable features, including the 2014 International Highrise Award and the 2015 Skyscraper of the Year Award. The towers have also become a popular tourist attraction in Milan, with visitors from all over the world coming to see the impressive greenery and futuristic design of the buildings.

The green twin towers of a high-rise complex in Milan are called Bosco Verticale . The high-rise towers were planned by the Italian architect Stefano Boeri and his partners in the architectural office Boeri Studio, Gianandrea Barreca and Giovanni La Varra ; Builder was Manfredi Catella. The two residential buildings were built from 2008 to 2013 and completed in October 2014, they are 110 and 80 m high. About 900 trees, each between 3 and 9 m high when they were planted, and more than 2000 other plants were planted on the terraces and balconies on the facades of the buildings. The plantings took place in 1.3 m deep concrete troughs. So that the trees can withstand wind and storms, grids are attached to the bottom of the planting tubs, on which the plant roots find additional support. If the trees of one of the high-rise buildings had been planted on one level, this would have resulted in a planted forest area of 7000 m²; In addition, the converted living area corresponds to an area of almost 7.5 hectares built up with single-family houses .

During my recent visit to Milan, I had the pleasure of visiting Bosco Verticale, also known as the Vertical Forest. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the exceptional and modern architecture of the building. The green balconies filled with trees and plants added a unique and natural element to the structure that was truly breathtaking. In addition to the beauty of the building itself, the location was also a highlight. The building is situated near a beautiful park, creating a serene and picturesque setting. As someone who values sustainability and innovative design, I was thoroughly impressed by Bosco Verticale. The creativity and vision of the architect who designed and built it is truly admirable, and I am grateful to the city of Milan for supporting and encouraging such environmentally conscious architecture. I would highly recommend a visit to Bosco Verticale to anyone interested in architecture or sustainability. It is truly a one-of-a-kind experience.

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.

Having looked into all of the sights of Milan, I had originally decided not to include Bosco Verticale on my list of 'Things To Do & See In Milan'. How wrong was I! I happened to accidently come across Bosco Verticale whilst looking for something else nearby, and I'm glad I did, as it's far more impressive in real-life than in pictures - they really can't do it justice. It really is one of the most impressive pieces of modern architecture, and truly deserves a lot more acknowledgment and recognition. Personally, I think it's a shame that the fusion of nature and modern architecture isn't more common place, and those who have seen this building would surely agree. Definitely recommend.
