Vertical Forest now under Construction

Posted by Xeno on May 23, 2012

The World’s First Vertical Forest Tower Is Now Under Construction!   DesignRulz.com

This vertical forest will span across two towers that have fabulous balconies designed to house these trees.

If we are talking about optimizing space, this vertical forest will consist of 900 trees, 5,000 bushes and 11,000 plants. This forest, designed by architect Stefano Boeri, will produces oxygen and cuts down on all the noise pollution in Milan. If this same number of trees, bushes and plants were planted horizontally around these houses on the ground, it would require 50,000 square meters of land and 10,000 square meters of woodland.
