Milan’s Vertical Forest | greenmuze.com
“The Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest) was designed by Stefan Boeri Architects as part of their BioMilano vision to incorporate 60 abandoned farms into a greenbelt surrounding the city. The Bosco Verticale building has a green façade planted with dense forest systems to provide a building microclimate and to filter out polluting dust particles. The living bio-canopy also absorbs CO2, oxygenates the air, moderates extreme temperatures and lowers noise pollution, providing aesthetic beauty and lowering living costs.”

There are three main strategies for incorporating biophilic elements into the built environment:
- nature in the space
- natural analogues
- nature of the space.
Nature in the space refers to the comfort occupants feel when their environment is thoughtfully filled with fresh air, natural daylight, water features, plant life, and views to nature.
Natural analogues include the use of natural materials and representations of nature through art and conceptual design.
Nature of the space refers to a series of spatial patterns that are found in preferred landscapes, including “prospect”, or views to open spaces, and “refuge”, or comfort in a protective, enclosed area.
