Very clever! This an option like you want to live in a city but you don't want compromising the relaxing greenery experience you have in a suburban house, ingenious design! 🤩 this shows that everyone is blessed with wisdom.
Imagine a world where this is what every building looked like... Not necessarily the same architectural aesthetic, but simply having this much plant life incorporated into the design -- a world where it was weird not to have plants like this all over your building. That alone seems like a little bit of a better world.
I love this concept, though it's way more ambitious than something I'd have thought of. Grass, vines and shrubs, sure, but trees...wouldn't the inevitable falling of branches (not to mention the tree's eventual death) be a hazard? I'd bet that a slightly less ambitious design could get almost the same climate change fighting results while being far easier to maintain.
These trees are not meant to reach their full size due to root constraints and rigorous pruning. In fact, many of them are no bigger than large shrubs. This minimises the risk of branches snapping and falling from height at lethal velocity.
They also have people who maintains every plant and tree on the building just like the window cleaners. They do this pretty regularly. It should work out fine.
Maybe im blind, because i dont see any forest or anything resembling real integration between the apartments and nature, what i do see though are oversized shrubs. I could imagine piramid like structures that could really incorporate big trees, grass, moss etc
Yes of course,,we need more trees like this...more trees means more oxygen right...To be saving our nature these kind of architectures is needed...#SaveNature #SaveFuture #SaveTrees #SaveHumans
I can’t find anywhere how much water this takes to sustain. Less earthen mass means more water. I can estimate that this building uses 200-300% more water then it’s neighbors. Nothing is free and everything requires some kind of a trade off. So is this building sustainable with that kind of water usage? I also know PH levels will eventually take their tolls on any material in direct contact, in time rot and water penetration will be a problem. Bitumin does not last as long as claimed, especially under varying natural stresses like sunlight, standing water, contact with earth, etc.
Questi giardini sono molto curati e ogni cosa che non va viene sostituita. Le abitazioni non sono per tutti ma soltanto per i super-ricchi che possono permettersi la spesa per mantenerli.
I like this one, but I would not be happy to see the whole city covered in vertical forests. If I want to see forests, I would go to the real natural forest.
They tried a whole city like this in China, but they soon realized that mosquitoes happened to like all the plants quite a bit....as a result, there's only ten families bothering to live there now.
Maintaining all that plants is not (!) that much efficient, as the architect makes it sound Fighting climate change on a large scale is not all about producing CO² but also a question of costs and efficiency. This building in Milan has very high m²-costs and the concept could never be adapted on a larger scale, just because of the maintenance costs and apartment prices. Green buildings should be planned for all the people, not just the very rich, so that also middle- and low-income inhabitants can afford the prices. If not, it's just a big show (city image), as they're only affordable by the rich, as in many, many other cases! Therefore, it's no way to help climate change, as the biggest pollution comes from where most of the people live and not just the better-off!

Meanwhile here in Malaysia, trees around residential area are cut down because the idiots think dead leaves are messy and falling trees are hazards.
Some tree varieties like English Oak do produce many leaves seasonally Evergreen trees be OK may need replanting
I'd like to see something like that in my country as well
Nice idea, but I can't imagine towers like this in the UK, there is no chance of it being maintained properly.

That looks amazing!
Totally!

there is 1 in tirana albania
Who would ever dislike this ?
This should be the standard for every tower block.
I'll honestly vote for any party that promises to put this into law.

Yes please and noise reduction too!
It won’t happen here in Indonesia. We are bad at maintaining shit.
Das sollte in Großstädten geben Reinigung der Luft!Auf dem Dach für Vögel was machen!

Oooh you could grow all sorts in that 🤫
This is not a forest, you could call it "vertical garden", but not a forest.
Idk bugs seem impossible to keep away

Its only a propaganda for some who doesn't want Changes for the Better
Mosquitos? Never heard of them, maybe because I have never seen a tree. Oh no hang on, mosquitos live in a wet environment, such as rice fields…
