Milan Vertical Forest is a project for the environmental survival of contemporary cities.<\/strong>
\nVertical Forest is a new generation of high-rise urban buildings completely covered
\nby the leaves of trees and plants.
\nVertical Forest is an architectural device that promotes the coexistence of architecture and nature in urban areas, and
\nthe creation of complex urban ecosystems.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

Milan Vertical Forest multiplies the number of trees in cities.<\/strong>
\nVertical Forest grafts the equivalent of thousands of square meters of forest and undergrowth onto a few hundred
\nsquare meters of urban space.
\nThe terraces, genuine outdoor extensions of the living spaces are home to over a dozen trees (ranging from 3
\nto 9 metres in height), numerous shrubs and flowering plants. If about 350 trees make up a 1 hectare forest,
\nthe over 700 trees of VF01 are equivalent to 2 hectares of woodland and ground level undergrowth.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Milan Vertical Forest is a tower for trees inhabited by humans.<\/strong>
\nVertical Forest sets the living standard between humans and trees within the built environment, establishing an
\namount of 2 trees, 8 shrubs and 40 bushes for each human being. Milan Vertical Forest houses about 1.7 km of pots that are
\n1.10 metres high and up to 1.10 metres wide.
\nThe soil contained in the pots is a mix of agricultural soil, organic matter and volcanic material that allows
\nthe reduction of the volume weighting on the perimeter of the balconies.
\nSuch diversity and typology of plant species within the urban centre works as a point of reference and a tool
\nfor urban policies directed to the inclusion of plant and animal species inside the man-made urban context,
\npromoting the development of different urban biodiversity dissemination sites.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

Milan Vertical Forest is an anti-sprawl device.<\/strong>
\nMilan Vertical Forest constitutes an alternative urban environment that allows to live close to trees, shrubs and plants within
\nthe city; such condition can be generally found only in the suburban houses with gardens, which are a
\ndevelopment model that consume agricultural soil and which is being now recognized as energy-consuming,
\nexpensive and far from communal services found in the compact city.
\nThrough densifying the urban fabric, Milan Vertical Forest creates new and innovative relationships of proximity between
\nnature and the built environment, creating new landscapes and new skylines.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Milan Vertical Forest demineralizes urban surfaces.<\/strong>
\nMilan Vertical Forest is a high-density forestation project that increases green and permeable surfaces in the city and
\nreduces the heat island caused also by sunlight reflected from glass fa\u00e7ades.
\nTogether with Green Roofs, Vegetable Gardens, and Vertical Gardens, Milan Vertical Forest belongs to a new generation of
\nenvironmental regeneration projects aimed at improving the quality and variety of everyday life in
\ncontemporary cities.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

6<\/h3>\n

Milan Vertical Forest reduces the pollution of the urban environment.<\/strong>
\nThe vegetation within Milan Vertical Forest is designed in such a way as to form a continuous green filter between the inside
\nand the outside of the inhabited areas, able to absorb the fine particles produced by urban traffic, to produce
\noxygen, to absorb CO2 and to shield the balconies and interiors from noise pollution.
\nThe benefits resulting from a reduction in pollution are apparent not just for the building itself and its
\nresidents, they also contribute to improving air quality in the whole city.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

\r\n\t
<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

7<\/h3>\n

Milan Vertical Forest reduces energy consumption.<\/strong>
\nTrees and shrubs in the VF01 are irrigated with groundwater pulled by a pump system powered by solar
\npanels located on the roof to all the pots in the building. The water used by the trees and shrubs returns
\npurified in the atmosphere in the form of water vapour. The process extracts heat from the surrounding
\nenvironment.
\nThe vegetation acts as a filter on the Milan Vertical Forest balconies determining a reduction of nearly 3 degrees between
\noutside and inside temperature and \u2013 in summer \u2013 a decrease in the heating of the fa\u00e7ades by up to 30
\ndegrees.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

\r\n\t
<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

8<\/h3>\n

Milan Vertical Forest is a multiplier of urban biodiversity.<\/strong>
\nMilan Vertical Forest hosts about 100 different plant species, including 15 species of trees, 45 shrubs and 34 types of
\nperennials.
\nMore than 20 species of birds have nested on the trees and bushes found in VF01, such as the martin, the
\nredstart and pale swift.
\nDifferent insect populations live in the Milan Vertical Forest vegetation, some of which, such as ladybirds, were released
\ninside the vegetation in order to fight plant pests without using pesticides.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

\r\n\t
<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

9<\/h3>\n

Milan Vertical Forest is an ever changing urban landmark.<\/strong>
\nBecause of the variety of plant species hosted in the balconies and the presence (especially on the north
\nwalls) of many different deciduous trees, Milan Vertical Forest changes its skin and the colour composition of its living
\nfa\u00e7ades, according to the season variability and weather conditions.
\nLike the trunk of a tree, its outer shell turns it into a living urban archive, a witness to the slow and gradual
\ngrowth of a new and rich urban ecosystem in the heart of the city.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row enable_hue_rotation=”no” enable_text_marquee=”no”][vc_column]
