Trudo Vertical Forest – a journey into the world’s first social housing Vertical Forest is a documentary video that recounts the experience of creating the first Vertical Forest in social housing in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, designed by Stefano Boeri Architetti and inaugurated on 30 September 2021.
The documentary by The Blink Fish (directed by Stefano Santamato and produced by Paolo Soravia) recounts – through in-depth analysis and interviews with the project’s protagonists – the development of the building, which has now become a new architectural icon in the Eindhoven skyline.
Designed primarily to accommodate low-income users – such as young professionals and students – the Eindhoven tower houses apartments with controlled rents but high living standards. The complex vision of “coexistence” between humans and other species is thus amplified in the project in a twofold challenge: the possibility of combining the great challenge of the environmental crisis with the urgent need for affordable housing in contemporary cities.
